[Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24

cmd

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

Mac HighSeirra 10.13.6

What is Ctrl+Command doing exactly.

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

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)

Ok, I will translate it when you add all strings.

Are you interested by the French version ?

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:

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

Thanks in advance.

And sorry for inconvenience for Mac users.

@Fredo : Pas de problème, d'ailleurs je n'avais même pas trouvé le fichier!
Windows est un tel labyrinthe !

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.

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

Thank you Fredo for your great work.

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?

+1 For the Toogle

+1 For the Render engine only corners

The preview mode is much faster than generating geometry. Would it be possible to send it to a render engine like Thea instead of the sketchup geometry?

A bit like Skatter does.

I can possibly implement a global switch. But again, you have to be extra careful with Undo / Redo.

I'll take an additional approach which may be safer.
