[Plugin] Round Edge - v1.0 (by Bezier)

i would suggest that before you pushpull your letters you clean up the edges, there's no reason to have all those faces on the sides. better yet why don't you just use the SU 3Dtext tool?

We hope that in the future someone will develop a commercial grade bull-nosing and filleting (edge smoothing) script with capabilities similar to what is depicted in the attached video.

That video looks familiar to me.

And the Original Source. A good place for script ideas

The text is an example of brand specific text and thank you for all your helpful input.

The video is from a post you made, just wanted to reach out again to the ruby script community. Thanks for the link.

Thank You All,

Can't it be more like a real quarter circle ?
Can't it remove the corners instead ?

see the attached jpg...

Thanks.

Hi fredo,

still trying all you great stuff,

have you heard of issues with this on the mac. it's locked up sketchup a couple of times and never worked properly even on simple stuff, still using SU followme. I've uninstalled at the moment because SU itself has started glitching and I even had to re-boot (I think it's called) for the first time in 18mths.

Freescale is working great.

actually should I have it in the BZ_DIR_12 folder with the others or out on its own????

cheers again

I am not aware of specific issues on Mac with BzRoundEdge script. Did it work at least one or do you get a bugsplat or freeze right away?

No confusion. BZ_DIR_12 folder belongs to the BezierSpline plugin, which is unrelated with RoundEdge.

As a general Rule, never unbundle files from folders. Always unzip with SelectAll to make sure the folder hierarchy is reconstructed in the Sketchup Plugin directory.

Hi,

The bug slat/freeze happens during processing, and at first I thought it was due to my not waiting before starting my next step

however, I now think it's a conflict with something else (either Podium or BezSpline)

I'll try a complete fresh instal of SU and add a couple of new folders directly in HD>Lib>AppSuport>SU>(myrubyfolder and parkedrubyfolder)

this make it easy to switch between rubies to see if I can find conflict (if it's still there)

I was also trying to apply this to model , so I'll try it at component level and just smooth the end result...

another thing is I find finding you scripts on this site, can you put up a Fredo6 [plugin]link in your signiture or somewhere?

thanks for reply

There is a known conflict with some version of Podium. I don't have the reference but it is documented somewhere in the Ruby discussion forum.

For the freeze, yes, you have to wait until it completes. There is a progress bar showing where it stands. If you click, then you'll get an apparent freeze (but if you wait, it completes).

Has the pointy corner problem been solved?
Thanx

This plugin has that ability Fredo?
Or is this something you got in the making?

Daniel S

I don´t know if Fredo put that image too see what Pico mean or if he is showing the next version of round edge????

Gaieus

I'd also be interested...

This is in the making, but I hardly find time to progress.

I'll be looking forwards to this. Rounding the edges in that manner is a must to model and render a realistic product model.

Yes!
How much longer?

Gaieus

It's a great plugin even with the pointy edges but this would definitely take it to a "next level".
Just take your time, Fredo, we are not impatient

Just to know that you´re behind a new version makes me happy

I´m not impatient too.. but I just make alternative icons for the future plugin

Daniel,

Thanks very much for the icons.
If you don't mind, I will make them the primary icons, because mine were really ugly.
