      I had been following your discussions about this in the French forum...
      I know what you are asking for, but it is very complicated to come up with an algorithm to remove the 'hole' - it's easy for us to 'see' what's to go and what's to stay, but in code it is very complicated to ensure that the unwanted parts are removed.
      If anyone has any ideas [even seemingly silly ones?] I am open to suggestions...

      On the 'rounded corner' matter... This effectively a 'multi-fillet' tool.
      The main issue I see in you'd need to select just the edges to fillet and not a face, otherwise in the case you illustrated the already curved part would potentially get 'multi-filleted'...

      That's x6 clicks to select the ones needed with a new tool - or x2 to select face & its-edges, then x2+Ctrl+Shift to remove the face and the unwanted arc [or +x1 click to make a fence, e.g. for an 'arc' made from exploded edges...] - say x4 or x5...
      OR using the existing 2dFillet tool x2 per vertex = x10 clicks.
      But are your few extra clicks worth my lost brain-cells needed to contrive this wonder ?

        For the multi fillet
        Surely not but don't forget the pleasure to find the solution! ๐Ÿ˜‰

              that pleasure would be nothing compared to the pleasure experienced by figuring this one out ๐Ÿ˜†

              the inner pie was offset on both.. sketchup offset gives the result on the left.. the right one is how it should be.. (and besides.. TIG-Genius_offset.rb has a nice ring to it : )

                TIG, marry Xmas and thank you for this great present.
                P.S. Could you take a look at attached?
                P.P.S. a. It'd be neat if this tool was mode-less (I mean replicating the native SU behavior)
                b. a number of offset option???


                some segments offset wrong way

                  Thank you TIG and Merry Christmas!

                  This one is a difficult task.

                    Thank you, Santa TIG. Milk and cookies will await you Xmas morning. ๐Ÿ˜„

                    Any chance of having:
                    1- a "Weld Offset" option button in the dialog
                    or
                    2- have the offset automatically welded if its source-edges were made from the circle, arch, polygon tools or previously "welded" edges?

                    Regards, John

                        Thanks for this great plugin.
                        Would it be very difficult to have it work as an interactive tool also using the measurement toolbar instead of the pop up window so it can replace the native tool all together?

                          Here's v1.5 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
                          There's some code improvements and fewer fails etc.
                          Some of the requested changes like 'holes', welded-outlines and VCB input will have to wait...

                          Merry Xmas... ๐Ÿ˜„

                            Pixero,

                            Then you can use Offset on Surfacewhich shows interactively the offset profile and allow to type the offset distance in the VCB. Still many glitches with convoluted contours however.

                                Looking at ways of minimizing this, and offsetting curves as curves...

                                          the 48.4 dimension was not taken 'legitimately' (you should measure from the center of the arch segment perpendicular to offset segment)
