      There is an issue on macOS 10.13.6 & SU2016, when the tool is activated I can't orbit (through shortcut: Ctrl+Cmd) to select edges.

      What is Ctrl+Command doing exactly.

      Note: I had to implement a custom orbit and Pan tool within FredoCorner, because otherwise, it would not be possible to see the preview, which is simply drawn in the viewport.

      You will notice it, because unlike the native orbiter, mine stops orbiting when the mouse is not in the viewport (i.e. over toolbars or dialog boxes).

      On Windows, the following is implemented

      • Middle mouse button --> orbit
      • Middle mouse button + shift --> Pan
      • Middle mouse button + Ctrl --> Free orbit (i.e. not keeping horizontal floor)
      • Middle mouse button + Left mouse button --> Pan

      I have assumed it would be the same on Mac.

      So please tell me if it is different and also if there are extra features that I missed.

      Fredo

      PS: For the translation, very kind of you. Thank you. Actually, in v1.1a, not all strings are exposed yet, so there will be a remaining part (same for LibFredo6)

        What do you mean exactly by storing "material id"

        I mean material IDs like in other other programs, which can be used for multi materials, random materials, object distribution or selection sets.

        Ok, I see the concept, and it might be useful.
        However, all what is shown in the videos seems to be beyond the power of Sketchup, unless this is implemented natively or explicitely supported by the Ruby API.

        Since SU2017, where a change was introduced that severely damaged the only robust pattern to control the generation of geometry based on temporary groups, it is extremely difficult to propagate information when you create new geometry derived from an old one containing this information. It is challenging, even for something as simple a FredoCorner, where the only information I propagate is about edge properties and face materials.

        So I am afraid that extensions will remain fairly limited in this domain, and for the concept of modifiers too, except in some specific situations.

          Hello Fredo. Great stuff!! Thanks for building this.

          I am seeing a possible bug. --> Except for zoom, I am not able to navigate the model with my mouse while FredoCorner is active. To be specific, Pan (Middle mouse button + shift) and Orbit (Middle mouse button) do not work via the mouse controls.

          Navigation DOES work while using your Round Corner extension

              On Mac you can orbit while you use another tool (i.e draw a line) without the neccesity to exit of the tool to orbit.
              I can't test the shortcuts above because I use a Apple Magic Mouse, there isn't middle button:
              - Middle mouse button --> orbit
              - Middle mouse button + shift --> Pan
              - Middle mouse button + Ctrl --> Free orbit (i.e. not keeping horizontal floor)
              - Middle mouse button + Left mouse button --> Pan

                  Pilou,

                  Thanks, I think I will manage. The point is that I did not expose yet all the strings.

                    Well, Yes, I should have thought that Macs would have a problem with this, probably in relation with the values of flags in the mouse events, which I forgot are not the same as on Windows.

                    Could a Mac user does the following:

                    1. Copy the attached rb file TestMacMouse.rb ito its Plugin directory
                    2. Open the Ruby console and type flag_mac. This starts a dummy tool tracing the Move and Middle button events
                    3. Press the Middle Mouse button, move around and release. Type Spacebar to end the test
                    4. Reply to this post with what is displayed in the Ruby console

                    Thanks in advance.

                    And sorry for inconvenience for Mac users.

                    Fredo

                        On ORBITING on MAC.

                        I jut published LibFredo6 8.6b, where I tried 'blindly' to fix the problem of Orbiting on Mac.
                        Thanks to advise

                          Actually, in my plugins, you translate from within the plugin, not from files: Menu "Language Translation".

                          But don't worry I'll take care of French in due time.

                              • Terminal corners (that is with a single edge) may present issues and bugs
                              • Variable offset tools are experimental

                                Fredo,

                                Your TestMacMouse.rb test results are below:

                                MButton down flags = 33554432
                                OnMouseMove flags = 33554432
                                MButton Up flags = 0

                                Also, after installing LibFredo6 8.6b, the Pan & Orbit bug appears to be fixed 😄

                                I hope this helps

                                        Amazing work Fredo. It's really impressive how much you've put into it.

                                        I always avoid using round corners just because of everything you've tried to circumvent with FredoCorner, so even if I'm already so used to avoid them I will definetely give this one a try.

                                        Thanks for pushing the boundaries! (around corners)

                                        PS: I hope this can open new paths to a lot of stuff being it at the core of Sketchup or only at plugin side of things… let's see what happens!

                                        PS2: I'm not offering for a PT version because I'm out of time, but if you don't have someone else doing it and if you need it, then don't hesitate to ask and I will find the time.

                                          Would it be possible with some kind of Global on/off switch so we can keep SU light and just turn it on before rendering?
                                          Maybe even some code that render engines could use to have it render even without turning it on in SU view?
