Hi

I've just instlled the libfredo... and Roundcorner, got the files in Plugin folder( the same like above)
When i run the sketchup program, i cant go into this new plugin.
I'm from Poland and using the polisch version of sketchup, its doesnt matter if i'm using polish version?

Thanks for answering

Carrozza

Help! In another thread someone pointed me to this plugin to round off the joint of two pipes. I'm getting weird results, tough...

I guess I'm missing some basics, like using wrong number of sides or something else.
Could someone help me, please?

TIG

Try and make the number of segments that touch in both tubes equal ...

EscapeArtist

I had the same problem as Carrozza, except I was using two tubes of the same diameter and segments. I found no solution and elected not to use the plugin.

Also, I connected a tube to a sphere. The tube was rounded perfectly, but it was no longer attached to the sphere. The edge where the tube/sphere intersect seems to pull away.

Don't get me wrong, this is a great plugin and it works well in every other instance I've used it. These are just a couple of instances where I've found it doesn't work.

It probably comes from the installation, in particular how you unzipped the files. Make sure that you reconstruct the folder hierarchy as indicated in the documentation (current version of LibFredo6 is 34).

Otherwise, it does not matter that you use SU in Polish (you'll get the script in English by default).

RoundCorner is not really adequate for this situation, because it would be very difficult to adjsut all edge terminations to get a perfect rounding.
I am not aware of any plugin doing these junctions, but if you do a lot of tubing work, you may want to have a look at the Pipes plugin from Skeng.

Actually no, I don't do a lot of pipes work, but is a shape that cross my way sometimes and wakes up my interest because of the complicated geometry.

What bugs me is that the kind Blajnov did manage to accomplish the task with RoundCorner, but I am not able to replicate the success.

TIG, thanks for your input, I'll try to count the segments, but at first thought it looks hard to match both sides because of different lenghts.

Yes, I did.

All is well. It's working on both systems-XP and Vista 64.
Fredo, you're plugins are great.

This plugin looks great, but I'm running into a problem here. I have a rather simple triangulated mesh and need to bevel the edges before running it through Subdivide and Smooth. However, the script seems to stop around 6%, yet still says computing.

Any ideas?

Post your skp file

Hmm, I attached the file, but something messed up. Here it is.

I found the bug, which explains why the scripts stops. In your case, you can however exit the tool.

Beyond that, you are in case where RoundCorner would not function very well, because of the triangulation. This is one of the limitations mentioned at the end of the documentation.

I attach here the result which is not very good for some edges, so that you can judge.

Thanks for taking a look at this for me. While I may not be able to use your script on this particular model, I can see many uses elsewhere. I appreciate the hard work that you and others have put into these scripts and for your time in answering questions. Guys like you have really turned SketchUp into something great. Thanks again!

Fredo, I echo the sentiment of all the grateful users who benefit from your talent and selfless dedication. Many thanks for this!
