no way for me to let it work. I click on it...but nothing happen.
Before we go any further... please provide ALL of your details in your User-Profiles - OS, version etc.
Please explain you issue more clearly...
Your report suggests that you get a toolbar and clicking a button appears to do nothing ?
Open the Ruby Console from Sketchup > Window and see what error messages you have...

My best guess [based on nothing but instinct] is you haven't downloaded/installed the required 'helper' "LibFredo..." as explained quite clearly in the tools notes...
Almost none of Fredo's tools will work without this 'helper'.
If it appears that you have installed it, then please check your Plugins folder's security permissions - they must be FULL... Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... set to FULL for everyone listed, OK/Apply.
Some of Fredo's tools need to write logs etc to the Plugins folder [subfolder] so FULL permissions are a must.
If earlier permissions have prevented you from installing the Lib correctly, then having 'Compatibility File' in the Plugins folder's top-bar in Windows Explorer is a clue - the files/folder having gone into a VirtualStore folder to protect you from yourself - because by default Windows does not give full access to files/folders in the 'Programs Files' folder tree

ACCESS: Permission denied

You need to set administrator privileges to allow full access to the Plugins folder. This is exactly the same as the previous report.

Please complete your profile as TIG requested.

I've just wrote a post on how to fix the permission for RoundCorner plugin http://inicholas.net/fix-roundcorner-plugin-problem/ .

this is not working with sketchup 2013 for me

Well, you haven't given us anything in the way of information to help you troubleshoot the problem so the best we can do is give you the two most common problems.

First: You haven't installed it correctly.
Second: You haven't installed the required LibFredo6 files.
Third: You haven't set permissions for the Plugins folder correctly.

It could be any or all of these.

That looks like a good blog post. Thanks for doing it. That exact same thing has been covered here on SCF dozens of times but apparently it can't be addressed too many times since people are still missing this important step. It isn't just Round Corner that this pertains to, either.

Hi Fredo,

I would like to ask about this most useful plugin I have ever used for sketchup, RoundCorner. The plugin is successfully installed in my SketchUp 2013, however, every time i try to make the roundcorner process, it will create a bugsplat and exit SU directly. I am using Windows 8 Pro and SketchUp 2013 Pro. Please advise. Thank you.

For your information: the plugins i used in my sketchup, Vray 1.6beta, TTCleanup, Artisan, Quadtools, VrayTools, Extrude Tools, Tools on Surface.

Dave R · 3 Jun 2013, 09:01

Try disabling V-ray--the first plugin you listed. It has been known to cause conflicts with other plugins.

Thanks all - for the plugin & the sorting out the 'security' fix - I was in same boat, which is now a curved bottom wonder!

sketchuh · 12 Jun 2013, 06:42

i can't see the fredo's roundcorner in tools menu..i am using sketchup 2013. i am pretty sure i installed it and other necessary plugins correctly. i don't know why i can't find it in the menu!

sketchuh · 12 Jun 2013, 06:53

sorry about that....i installed it via sketch store! it works now! thnx

ericchan74 · 16 Jun 2013, 15:58

Dear Fredo6,

I have just updated to SU2013 from SU8 and tried to re-install RoundCorner (v2.3a)
I had it working fine whist in SU8 but cannot get it to work on 2013?

I have updated to the latest Libfredo6 4.9 plugin on SU2013 and it is showing up inside SU2013, however, I cannot seem to be able to open up the the RoundCorner box from Extensions nor can see it anywhere in the tools palettes? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I am on mac os X (10.8.4)

EDIT - I have found a way to fix this. Change the .zip file downloaded from here and change the parameter to .rbz and then copy/place the file to sketchup plugin folder. Open sketchup and from Preference / Extensions / Install extension - locate .rbz file from plugin folder and woala!! RoundCorner tick box should appear which means installed! From there, go to View/ tool palettes/ RoundCorner to open up tool bar.

Not sure if this is the proper way to install but worked for me on MAC.

Thanks Fredo for this great and useful plugin.

Cheers!!

You could have skipped the part about placing the rbz file into the Plugins folder and used Install Extension just the same. Better would be to install the Sketcucation PluginStore and install it automatically. Did you make sure to also get the most recent LibFredo6 files?

hello
please help
round corner not working
I installed libfredo6-49 but asked me to create a folder but still working out DEFPARAM_DIR
thanks
sorry my English

Dave R · 19 Jun 2013, 09:35

Please read the first three lines of the first post of this thread. It tells you exactly why you are getting this error. You need to set full permissions for the Plugins folder.

antoineb89 · 19 Jun 2013, 18:51

Hey there sketchupers,

I am trying to use the roundcorners plugin, but it doesnt seem to work. I can see the icons and everything but when i click on it nothing happens. Hopefully one of u have a solution for this!

Thanks in advance!
