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

thomthom

when i get these bugs i usually empty the plugins folder and try the ruby on its own - if it works then i know it is a conflict somewhere. then i try again, each time adding back small groups of the other scripts.. of course one needs to close/open sketchup everytime.

Or just type in

load 'rubyfilename.rb'

in the ruby console.

Gonna bump this one up again. Fredo, have you made any progress on the script? Or is it likely that it will stay like this for some time. I'm going to install it in 7 right now, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! ^_^

Marian

I'm pretty sure it's not improved in anyway....

Yanman

Wow thank You very much.

With the holdiays, I am just resuming some work on my scripts. Indeed, I will try to fix issues with Round Edge (and maybe develop the spheric / elliptic option).

PS: For the bug splats, it may come from the geometry itself. I never got any myself, but I don't work on complex model either. As a general rule, be careful if you work on the geometry of a component instance whose definition is also used in other instances with transformation such as rotation.

Thank you Fredo, I wish you a happy New Year.

hey.. could anybody help. I tried this plugin today on skp 7. I made a cube and tried the round edge option. All it did was it placed two lines on either side of the ONE lone edge of the cube. There wasnt anything else.

am I using outdated version?
Does it work with skp 7 ?
I downloaded it from the first page of this thread. Any idea where can I find the latest version?

regards
Pritam

RoundEdge normally works with SU7. I did not get any probleme before before yours.

Could you open the Ruby Console and advise on what you see.
Also, could you post the skp model if there is anything specific that could help to understand more.

Hi Fredo,
I got it.. I got it to work.

Few days ago I had problems running podium renderer in sketchup. Somebody suggested that that removing 'matchbox' plugin might solve the problem. And it had worked.

i did the same this time. I removed matchbox again and then 'round edge' worked perfectly.

It means that the problem is with 'matchbox' plugin. Or it could be that I am using some earlier version of matchbox which was not compatible with other plugins.

anyways , thanks.

iam also thankful for all the wonderful work that you and Whatt are doing. I realised that I saved 2 hours of work yesterday simply thru round edge plugin.

Do you have any blog where all your plugins listed?

Thanks
Pritam

Fredo, When you say to develop the spheric / elliptic option do you mean something like the attachment image?

That would be a huge improvement

Thank you again for this amazing must-have tool...

+100 this would be amazing

Gaieus

+101!
It's a cool plugin already now (although has some limitations like the Follow me can also have with concave curves) but a rounded corner (preferably an "option" vs the pointy one) would indeed be a great improvement!

How did you do that?

Bonzai3d...?

jmmad

SU needs and can catch up with bonzai3d
Fredo this ruby + other transformation like twist and bend would be really great.

free agent

Funny(and sad) that Sketchup on version 7 needs to catchup with a beta release... interestingly bonzai 3d shares a render engine with modo (assuming that it has the same render engine as FormZ)

Oaht

Thanks for your superb plugin. This will save a lot of time!!!

BorgMan

It would be great if the Round Edges tool would work like that Bonzai3D image. I've had so much models which use complex shapes that totally effed up when I unleashed the RE tool on them, after which I had to manually retrace the outlines to make them work properly...
