[Plugin][$] RoundCorner - v3.4a - 31 Mar 24

define · 10 Jan 2015, 11:30

Hello Fredo,

can't thank you enough for all your plugins!!! Donate folks!! At the end of the day
we will have to open our refrigerators door - isn't it?

I have a question:

When inspecting the icons for 'RoundCorner' I stumbled upon one which is labeled 'CustomProfile'.

It however don't seem to be implemented. Did you work on this as well?

...absolutely amazed by your work and with maximum respect

Klaus,

Custom profiles (based on a quarter definition of profile) is something that I have included in the code, but I would need to build a kind of GUI to activate it in the script.

Please do.

Another small request.
Would it be possible to make the scripts create quads only? As it is now it also creates triangles.

How would you expect the result would be in quads for that example you posted?

I think it is rather something like this:

Coincidentally, I was just giving an other look at RoundCorner using subdivisions techniques, essentially to generalize usage to complex situations where a pure geometrical construction is not possible.

Would it be something like this?

EDIT --oh no, the other faces get ruined for quads--I tried applying texture and just realized this and came back to find your post below, Fredo!

Yea, that type of rounding would be great!

I am not so familar with subdivision. But I think you are, as you work on your SubDivide plugin!

Another possibility is the double rounding

Basically you proceed in 2 steps:

Round the vertical edge by an offset A (here A = 0.2m)
[attachment=3:1tjc0skc]Double Rounding 1.png[/attachment:1tjc0skc][attachment=0:1tjc0skc]Double Rounding 11.png[/attachment:1tjc0skc]
Then Round the top edges by an offset B, such as B is lower than A (here B = 0.15 m)
[attachment=2:1tjc0skc]Double rounding 2.png[/attachment:1tjc0skc][attachment=1:1tjc0skc]Double Rounding 3.png[/attachment:1tjc0skc]

I can maybe automate this type of double rounding in the Plugin

Fredo, it would be very nice if you could implement double rounding. That's essentially the way the real corners would get rounded on the models I draw.

Thanks for your answer Fredo. A custom profile-option could come in handy when having situations like thick peripheral seams like on leather sofas or cushions made from 'heavy duty' textiles. It's very special though - might be to tricky to use in the end, if it has to many special options, conditions and constraints.

thx again for your phantastic work!

Hello thank you for your plugin its very convenient to use

i have an idea similar to blender bevel
if you choose inner loopcut or Lines then bevel it it will do this effect

Pixero · 14 Jan 2015, 08:30

Maybe this can give you some ideas: http://www.mariussilaghi.com/products/quad-chamfer

Fredo, thanks for this crucial tool that is missing in Sketchup.

I have a question/request. I'm using SketchUp on Dell XPS 13 laptop (Win 8.1). The problem I'm having is the toolbar is compressed in size making it very difficult to use:

Is there any way to expand the toolbar?

Thanks again

Chris

Pixero · 15 Jan 2015, 07:31

I have the same problem on my Macbook Pro with Bootcamp and Windows 8.1.
A way of setting the size to fit a certain resolution would be great.

Hey,

I'm trying to download Roundcorner for sketchup 2015 on windows
I've tried downloading it on sketchucation's plugin downloader
and everytime i try and find it it doesn't show up anywhere. I've
checked the toolbars menu and the extensions tab under preferences
and it's not there. Every time I start up sketchup it gives me this error.
Is this plugin supposed to work with sketchup 2015? Let me know if there's
any more information i can add to help you help me.

Regards,

Christian S.

All of Fredo's tools should work with v2015, but you need to install the latest versions from the PluginStore.
AND you must have the latest version of LibFredo installed also available there...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
The invalid byte UTF-8 suggests an older file version.
It also sometimes occurs with file-paths including weird accented characters etc [although your user-path looks innocuous enough !]

Another issue might be if you have copied over lots of files from an earlier SketchUp version's Plugins folder - you might have copied some old files across which are incompatible/unwanted - wherever possible you should always install fresh/latest copies when setting up your new SketchUp version...

If getting the LibFredo etc doesn't fix things, then please provide screenshot[s] of your Plugins folder's contents, so we can see if you have any old/wrong files that need removing...

How do you download the file in the first place!?
I need the link to the file in order to install… there used to be a clear button that said ‘DOWNLOAD’!
Where has that gone!?

From the first post in this thread:

It seems pretty clear to me. Do you need more help than that?

TIG · 17 Jan 2015, 19:33

Almost every Plugin's RBZ in the SketchUcation PluginStore has a red 'Download' button.
This downloads the RBZ onto your compuyter so you can install it...

In the SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset dialog that is red 'AutoInstall' button, this skips the download step and simple installs it for you...

There are clear links in that post to the PluginStore's pages with the Download button...
For both the Plugin itself and the Lib helper that it needs...

How easier could we make it ?
