Round Corners Idea
-
Just an idea that perhaps someone wants to make it possible...

This is a great idea and can be done with no major issue (the center of the circle is at the crossing of parallels of segments, at a distance equal to the specified radius). There are of course some tricky cases where the specified radius would be too big and would overlap more that 2 segments, but this can be adjusted.

It would be great if that worked for a selection of points/lines as there might be cases when you wouldnt want all corners to get rounded.

Klaudius's k-tools.rb has long offered an 'L' command that's effectively a 'fillet'. You enter a radius and pick the edges (o radius extends/trims them at the same angle without a radius. However since this tool erases edges and replaces them with new shorter edges plus an arc you loose any faces... so I'd suggest that if the edges have a shared face then you draw the new arc and erase the then spare bits of edge that get left over - away from the arc circumference - so that the pre-existing face remains with its new perimeter...
No need to reinvent the wheel just rework Klaudius's ideas ?
