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

TIG

If a 'followme' type tool makes faces with dims <~1mm it will cause failures - a limitation of OpenGL ?
I thought you might be making the equivalent of a 'followme' around a tight curve that made these small facets and crashed - but maybe not ?
Can you successfully make the equivalent rounded/chamfer using the FollowMe tool 'raw' ?

Hi TIG,

I don't have any problems with the Follow-me tool.

Sketchup crashes only when I use RoundCorner.

Thanks,

Ken,

Could you post or send me the model, so that I can have a look at whatcrashes.
I assume that you also upgraded to the latest version. There was a previous release that had reported crashes.

S: It would be nice to have persistent settings for each of the three round types independently as, for instance, I generally want beveled edges unsmoothed but the others likely not.

Normally the persistence is done for each individual tool, including the custom saving by the icons A, B, C, D

I am not clear of what is the bad visual effect. Coul you post a picture or the model.

Hi Fredo,

I just sent you a private message. Unfortunately I could not attach the file. It's bigger than the allowed size of 4mb.

Thanks,

Sorry, I missed that and will investigate further. Thank you.

Its only very slightly 'bad'. My understanding is worse, though, and that is what I was wanting to improve.

Are the edges Smooth by any chance?

brookefox

Well, obviously, I mean, well, er....

I thought I had checked that but obviously my methodology was seriously flawed.

Thanks, t.

Hello

Is there another place to download this plugin?
I tried with this one, but it gave me the message "The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted".

Thank You, Cris999

TIG

The 2.1c zip is fine I just re-downloaded it to test... Try again.

Cris999

I tried on other PC too. Same problem. Can somebody send me the unzipped files on PM?
Thank You

Which unzip program do you use?

Fredo

Cris999

First: I tried to selfextract the file.
Second: it was 7-Zip
Third: WinAce
Forth: I used a online unzipper service
Fifth: I sent the file to somebody, asking him to unzip
Sixth: I downloaded from another PC and tried unsuccessfully to unzip
Only WinAce showed my the 2 "IMAGES" folders and english pdf file (the french one is corrupt) and no other files in "ROUNDCORNER_Dir_21" folder

Thank You, Cris999

Maybe you should try to download WinZip (this is what I use to zip the files).
In any case, be attentive to the hierarchy of folders that should be recreated. I would suggest you unzip in a neutral place, then check and then copy the folder and small file in the SU Plugin directory.

i dblclick to open with 7zip then drag and drop files/folders to SU plugins in another open explorer window. never fails.

Some time ago I used Fred06.s "[Plugin] RoundCorner" to round/bevel an edge then saved the file. Now I have decided the round/bevel edge is to large. Is there a way to undo the round/bevel and start over from a square edge and do it all over again without a re-draw?

blair

There is probably a better way to do the above but I do not know what it is. What I did was go back and re-build each and every corner 1 x 1. Sure makes me hope I get the rounds right next time and have a back up copy just in case.

xrok1

you could always make a copy of your original stuff and put it on a hidden layer before you do major edits like round corner.

Gaieus

Or even better; use Didier's Ghost Component plugin to keep the original (unrounded) as ghost and round the "real" to anything. Then you can always get back to the original.

blair

Thank you both for excellant ideas. If not for you guys I would have never guessed or know. Rebuilding 28 interior and exterior corners is not the most fun I have ever had. But, I am now ready for next time.
