[Plugin][$] RoundCorner - v3.4a - 31 Mar 24

Noemi

Hello!, i tryed to install roudedcorners directly through Sketchucation pluging stores, after instslling freddo library, and it appears this when autoinstall: ( inside a box)

You can Write to the Main Plugins Folder, and...
You have a Custom-Plugins Folder.

C:/ Users/noemi/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup2015/sketchup/plugins
c:/ Programdata/sketchup/sketchup2015/sketchup/plugins

i don't find this folder and don't know what does it mean... should i create another folder, what should i do? thanks for any help!

NEW RELEASE: RoundCorner v3.0a - 09 Jul 15

RoundCorner 3.0a is refresh of this now old plugin.

The main evolutions are related to the User Interface:

Updated button palette, separating the buttons in 4 areas: Edges selection, Parameters, Edge properties and Geometry Generation.
Post-modification: You can now modify the parameters after the generation of the geometry without reselecting edges. When one or several parameters are changed, you can apply to the previous generation by clicking on “APPLY CHANGE”. As soon as you select an edge, this option is no more available and the parameters will apply to the next generation.
Detection of Overlaps: RoundCorner now detects the situations of overlaps and show them in Preview mode and display a warning message before generation of the geometry.
Edge properties: there is an additional control for edges bordering the corners.

See main post of this thread for Download.

Thank you very much for this update Fredo.

This is a great new feature and a huge time saver.

This may be the paragon of your plugins, Fredo, which are all superb at that. A hugely useful and essential tool that only gets better and more refined over time!

Thank you so much fredo6

NEW RELEASE: RoundCorner v3.0b - 17 Jul 15

RoundCorner 3.0b fixes a major bug preventing the plugin to launch for Sketchup 2013 and earlier versions.

So it is IMPORTANT to upgrade to v3.0b if you run these versions of Sketchup.

Sorry for inconvenience

No a very clear comment
If you mean that using very small dimensions causes a BugSplat, then this a well know limitation of SketchUp -both in SketchUp's native tools and many Plugins...
Models with edges [and any faces they might support] < 1/1000" long can 'exist', BUT they cannot be 'created' - this is because at that size the tolerance built in to SketchUp means that it takes the edge's start/end points to be coincident.
The work around is to scale the geometry up x100 or more, do the intricate creation and scale back down afterwards.

As I said - the tiny geometry can exist, but it cannot be created...

Use this as your motto, is cool !

its great ! thanks fredo .

One of the best plug-ins ever, thank you!!! makes my models look more realistic. the best part of this is it keeps the faces grouped as one. cheers keep making more

Hi fredo
I have the su2015 & Im interstate in the round corner pouring, can you help me?
Thanks

littleche

HI

I Have problem with this model . round corner can't rounding this model and recive overlab error.
How can I fix this problem?

Unfortunately, with the current algorithm, this is not possible.
At the sharp corner, you have edges which are smaller than the offset.

Sorry for inconvenience

Thank you fredo . You are always trying to develop this plugin.And I thank you very much.If you are not a thing of SketchUp shortage!
I hope you can fix algorithm in the next version .Always sincerely pray for your success...

I've been using this plugin for a while now and it's pretty awesome. Makes curving edges a lot faster with less frustration. Thanks for making this.

thx fredo

@fredo6

Is it possible to fix the chamfer process failing on such a corner?

It's pretty much impossible to avoid places like those in serious quad-based hardsurface modeling, and other chamfering implementations (in 3ds Max, Maya, etc.) never had issues with topology like that, so I'm not sure if anything really prevents proper chamfering here. Typically, corners like those are simply resolved like this:

fredo6

Not possible with the current algorithm.

Would require another technique, which I may implement one of these days.

Thanks for the info!

While at it, can you take a look at this improvement? It would be an enormous help for users inserting edges into n-gons to control triangulation, and to users with quad-based geometry or otherwise unavoidable coplanar face sequences:
