What do you mean?
This is a set of tools "on Surface".Fredo

I mean fillet on 3d surface. See attached:
Say you have AB and CD lines. The red fillet connectig AB abd CD is demanded.

Street - underground parking ramp junction. Example from real life (VERY common an tedious task).
-
Somehow, you are asking if I could implement teh equivalent of BezierSpline 'on surface', of which the filetting is just one tool.
That's probably possible, but non trivial.
Actually the real difficulty with TOS is to handle the sharp changes in surface, because this is where directions may change abruptly. If everything was on a smooth surfce it would be simpler.
I'll think about it.

I'd gladly use this 3d fillet on more or less 'calm' surfaces and get an error report on sharp ones. no problem.

Hi!
As you can see in the screenshot, I selected two neighbouring surfaces. Offset on Surface creates one big offset for them both, together. I was thinking, if it's possible that offsets would be created separately, independently for each surface?

Why don't you select each face for individual offset?

FredoBecause in another model I have tones of surfaces to offset and selecting them one by one would be haaard.

Use one of lattisizers and then intersect it

Dear Fredo,
Hello, I kindly reach you to ask you, Is there any possibility to add curve line to the Tools On Surface plugin or link BezierSpline plugin with Tools On Surface in order to draw the F-spline or Catmull Spline. Because sometimes we need to draw the special curve on curved surfaces. (Attachment file).
Sincerely
Hamidreza -
That's relatively difficult to make a Draw Bezier on Surface.
I think in the case of your model, the best would be to proceed with shaped cylinder and then intersect the torus.

Dear Fredo,
Thank you for your prompt reply to my question. Wow, I thought that adding curve line(Bezier) on Tool on surface plugin will be possible in SketchUp as MESH interface because this is just an example in order to show you what I mean and you obviously know that we usually need to add curve line on the curved surface(Like other Software: Rhino and...). Indeed, I ever use Drap(Feature in the SketchUp) or Flowify plugin(Anders L.) in order to put a pattern on my curved surface but most of the time it doesn't work properly or It does not look like what I am looking for.
All in all, I hope so in the near future, we have this feature on SketchUp. Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Hamidreza -
Hi there.
Do you have a link to download the Tools on Surface plugin? I tried on the main page but link doesn't work.
Thanks.

I am having issues upon the startup of SketchUp with ToolsOnSurface, I believe it may have something to do with the latest update but I am not sure. Below is the text of the error code upon starting.
ToolsOn Surface 2.4a: Error starting up plugin (creating menus and icons) invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 [in lib6config.rbe - #'===0: line 319]
c:/...'sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/lib6core.rbe:1058:in'rescue in block in effective_load_part2'
Please Help. Thank you.
