      I was also wondering if Round Corner could work woth groups and compos (not only loose geometry), so that we don't have to open a group to chamfer its edges. It would make work much faster with e.g. multiple boxes at once.

      Not planned with RoundCorner unfortunately.

          Correct. RoundCorner can only perform symmetrical rounding.

            Hello everybody!

            I support lema. Too often this feature is missing.

            There is also a need to build such corners.
            I understand that this operation can be done using the Curviloft plug-in, but still, it would be easier and faster.

            Thank you very much Fredo6 for his work !!!

                How did you install the plugins?

                • Sketchup Extension manager, after downloading the RBZ files?
                • or Sketchucation PluginStore tool?

                  Hi

                  Rounding an edge excluding the corners generates the arc as connected segments, not a curve/arc.
                  is it possible that along edges an arc/curve is generated?
                  That would help a lot in technical drawings where I need to know the radius of the rounding arc.
                  The corners are generated perfectly.

                    This is actually not so easy, because Arc / Curve is a transient property (think of an Arc when deformed by non-uniform scaling).
                    There are plugins to retrieve the center of an arc, as far I as remember.

                        Why not follow the instructions in the message and get the newest version of LibFredo ?
                        It's available from the PluginStore, just like the related extensions which use that Lib...
                        Your version is very out of date !

                        After installing the Lib restart SketchUp to ensure everything gets synced...

                              Hello, I've been a loyal user of this tool for a very long time, great work!

                              I've been trying for a long time to get it to sort of.. maintain a radius when rounding a corner. For example, I'm trying to set up a part and calculate pocket cuts of a CNC machine's endmill, when it can't accurately do an interior corner because of the size of the endmill. When I round with say a 1/8" radius, it seems to do a non-circular rounding when doing anything other then 90 degrees. Is there a solution for this? Doing it manually sucks 😃

                              Here is a picture for an example. I want the right's inner bends, but the plugin instead gives me what's on the left.

                                I've never noticed that but you're right.

                                At least for now you could use TIG's 2D Fillet from his 2D Tools set.

                                  ITman496 made a very relevant observation.

                                  Indeed this concerns borders where the edge angle is different from 90 degrees.

                                  In RoundCorner and FredoCorner, the offset is measured perpendicularly to the borders, along their faces.

                                  Corner - Radius 1.png

                                  As a result, the rounding is not a circle, but it is scaled to be tangent at faces. All pictures below generated with an ofset of 1.5 m and a Circle profile.

                                  Corner - Radius Off.png

                                  However, there is another possibility, which is to make the rounding so that it matches a circle with a radius equal to the offset value

                                  Corner - Radius 0.png

                                  Corner - Radius - On.png

                                  This is a matter of choice indeed, so it has to be an option, which I am implementing in FredoCorner.

                                  Below are the same solid rounded with the two options

                                  Corner Radius - All - Face.png

                                  Corner Radius - All - Radius.png

                                  As far as I remember, I discarded the radius mode because it gives border rounding which are visually non uniform. But, the option is valid geometrically, especially if it is to generate the shape for 3D Printing.

                                  Fredo

                                    Thank you for that explanation, Fredo. I'm happy to know it'll be a feature in FredoCorner.

                                      Dave,

                                      It should be possible in FredoCorner (but more complex in RoundCorner).

                                      Again, the result is visually different
