I support lema. Too often this feature is missing.
There is also a need to build such corners.
I understand that this operation can be done using the Curviloft plug-in, but still, it would be easier and faster.Thank you very much Fredo6 for his work !!!

hi
I have make 17 and have downloaded fred 06 and round corner but I am having issues with getting into sketch up need advice place. I have enabled both in sketch up but it doesn't show in tools what do I need to do? -

- Sketchup Extension manager, after downloading the RBZ files?
- or Sketchucation PluginStore tool?

Hi
Rounding an edge excluding the corners generates the arc as connected segments, not a curve/arc.
is it possible that along edges an arc/curve is generated?
That would help a lot in technical drawings where I need to know the radius of the rounding arc.
The corners are generated perfectly. -

The corners are generated perfectly.This is actually not so easy, because Arc / Curve is a transient property (think of an Arc when deformed by non-uniform scaling).
There are plugins to retrieve the center of an arc, as far I as remember.Fredo

I am having this new error can anyone help me out its not allowing me to continue use of this product.
-
Why not follow the instructions in the message and get the newest version of LibFredo ?
It's available from the PluginStore, just like the related extensions which use that Lib...
Your version is very out of date !After installing the Lib restart SketchUp to ensure everything gets synced...

You are god my friend. A brutal tool

Sketchup owes you

Hello, I've been a loyal user of this tool for a very long time, great work!
I've been trying for a long time to get it to sort of.. maintain a radius when rounding a corner. For example, I'm trying to set up a part and calculate pocket cuts of a CNC machine's endmill, when it can't accurately do an interior corner because of the size of the endmill. When I round with say a 1/8" radius, it seems to do a non-circular rounding when doing anything other then 90 degrees. Is there a solution for this? Doing it manually sucks
Here is a picture for an example. I want the right's inner bends, but the plugin instead gives me what's on the left.
-
I've never noticed that but you're right.

At least for now you could use TIG's 2D Fillet from his 2D Tools set.

ITman496 made a very relevant observation.
Indeed this concerns borders where the edge angle is different from 90 degrees.
In RoundCorner and FredoCorner, the offset is measured perpendicularly to the borders, along their faces.
As a result, the rounding is not a circle, but it is scaled to be tangent at faces. All pictures below generated with an ofset of 1.5 m and a Circle profile.
However, there is another possibility, which is to make the rounding so that it matches a circle with a radius equal to the offset value
This is a matter of choice indeed, so it has to be an option, which I am implementing in FredoCorner.
Below are the same solid rounded with the two options
As far as I remember, I discarded the radius mode because it gives border rounding which are visually non uniform. But, the option is valid geometrically, especially if it is to generate the shape for 3D Printing.

Thank you for that explanation, Fredo. I'm happy to know it'll be a feature in FredoCorner.
-
Dave,
It should be possible in FredoCorner (but more complex in RoundCorner).
Again, the result is visually different
-
Thank you so much Fredo! My years of suffering are over!
I can't wait for the update to fredocorner!
And Dave, I will try 2D tools. Thank you!

Hello,
About two weeks ago I received an error message about RoundCorner when starting Sketchup 2018 Pro. I didn't save the message, and don't know exactly what it said, but RoundCorner was no longer available. I'm on macOS High Sierra (can't upgrade any higher). I updated Fredo6 to the latest version, restarted Sketchup, and then updated RoundCorner and restarted. The toolbar appears, but is completely unresponsive. I also tried installing FredoCorner. Its toolbar has never appeared, but I can put the icons in my main toolbar. It is also unresponsive.In the "Fredo6 Collection" under Tools both RoundCorner and FredoCorner are showing, along with their menus, but I can't do anything with them. I've been using RoundCorner for years, and can barely function without it (many thanks, Fredo). Please, somebody help!
(I did install through Extension Manager in Sketchup).Thank you, and hope everybody had a Merry Christmas.
