      Fredo, here is a small but important suggestion:
      When editing* polycorner's fillets with mouse scrolling (or slider) it'd be great to have ability to snap to user defined rounding values (like 10\50\100 cm)
      It could be implemented by continuously pressing one of modifier keys while scrolling
      *- Usually people work with 2+ digits after point precision, and using mouse scroll\slider nowdelivers bad radius values.
      Thank you for attention

      Maybe I'll add an explicit configuration parameter, because there are issues with guessing the right increment:

      1. imperial and other exotic units could be used
      2. the order of magnitude is difficult to infer, as curves are drawn outside of context. You wish 10/50/100 cm, but another user may want 10/50/100 m)

        BTW For some reason Profile Builders assemblies don't like closed polyacrc curves- they need to be converted to regular polylines (or exploded) in order to be treated as paths

          I don't have Profile Builder installed. This is strange, because FredoSpline generate geometry as true Sketchup curves, with some extra attributes. So, it should be transparent to Profile Builder.

          The problem with closed curves is the start point of the curve, which may not be what you would visually expect.

              Hi Fredo,
              I want to report to you what seems to be bugs with the plugin in SU2021:

              1. Trying to click and drag a control point often results in no action at all. That's especially true when zoomed in for precison movements, regardless of the number of segments, and even deactivating sticking to inference points. After many attempts, sometimes the control point moves. But it's very hit-and-miss, making the plugin unusable for complex works. Many other times, the control point stops moving before you are done editing it.

              2. I can't seem to find a way to control the weight/angle at each side of the control point. Maybe I'm missing something here, or maybe it is not an implemented feature yet.

              3. When you add a control point in edit mode, the plugin immediately exits the edit mode. So the edit mode has to be reselected each time you want to modify the control point that has just been added. And in doing so, everytime the plane you selected (for example XY or XZ) gets reset. So it's quite likely that you forget about reselecting the correct plane each time, which ends up in wrong edits.

              Hope this help in hunting bugs. Let me know if I can help with experimenting, or just uploading a vid of the problems.

                This must be very specific to your configuration or to your model, as nobody reported such problems in SU2021 (or other versions of SketchUp).

                It might be that your mouse is slightly desynchronized from the visual feedback you see on the screen. In general, clicking outside the curve will exit the tool.

                1. To move a control point, hover over the point until you see an orange disk. Click-Drag on it, or Click-Release-Drag.

                2. For weight / angle, which curve are you referring to? A mousewheel on the small pin should change the parameters

                It would help to have a video of the problem, because I have no hint on what the problem could be with the information you give.

                  This is enigma for me as well. The brown tension slider (in edit mode for local fit spline for example) controls only one side, no effect on other.
                  P.S. In attached file, I can't make smooth areas, why is that?

                        Aah, great to see you're finally taking the step into commercializing your extensions and getting something in return for your efforts!

                            Fredo if you have plans to commercialize your tools please give an option to buy all your plugins as unified bundle. I'd be difficult to buy them one by one. How many seats will work under one license? I hope 2 at least (3 preferable, I jump constantly home-office).

                              Fredo deserves by all means to be paid for his excellent work. But getting into account that SketchUP is now subscription only and if all necessary plugins are getting paid only, the value of SketchUP is decreasing even more. I'm now more than happy that bought Rhino 7.

                                3 seats per license.

                                For bundling extensions, that would cumbersome technically, but because they are all different, I don't see how to group them.

                                  I downloaded your new FredoSpline v2.0rb and paid for it. But now I can't access it at all. I think there might be a bug with the Plugin. It says it's installed and it shows up in the extension manager. However, I can't pull up the tools in the menu or from the view->Toolbars. Please get this resolved so I can use your awesome tool once again.

                                  Love your work!!

                                    Did you install LibFredo6? This is a companion library needed by all my plugins.

                                    Also, there is a free trial period, precisely for you to test the extension before licencing.

                                            Hi @Fredo6,

                                            please, I need a help to buy the FredoSpline.

                                            When I click in "Obtain License" boton it direct me to this page on sketchucation:
                                            https://sketchucation.com/purchase.php?plugin=FredoSpline

                                            Than, I go to "By Now" and insert my email adress on the page showed, click on "Pay With PayPal" boton and a error PayPal page is opened, saing "An error has occurred. Try again later."

                                            I'm trying to get this for many days and having the same result all the time.

                                            Please... help me!!!
