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

ken28875 · 23 Apr 2010, 16:46

I used that plugin everyday and I love it. However, it crashes Sketchup a lot. Whenever I use the round corner, Sketchup seems to freeze then shuts down. It happens maybe 70% of the time.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks,

I have never had that problem [Vista].
How big are these 'chamfers' etc when it fails - is it a minimum size thing ?

ken28875 · 23 Apr 2010, 17:18

Hi TIG,

It's only 40cm.

Thanks,

Unlikely to result in faces <1mm ?

I have also had a couple of crashes but definitely not 70%. In fact, other plugins can also cause crashes (especially when I do not "notice" how big task I want to feed the plugin with) so at least I am used to saving before I run anything (except of course at the most crucial moments )

What do you mean, TIG?

My first use of this wonderful tool leads me to make a newb suggestion and ask a newb question.

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.

Q: With a surface whose edges have been beveled and unsmoothed and which appears flat and untextured, what causes the slightly modeled appearance (slight shading effects not visible elsewhere)?

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.

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 · 26 Apr 2010, 18:01

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 · 27 Apr 2010, 08:09

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

Cris999 · 27 Apr 2010, 19:24

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 · 28 Apr 2010, 18:28

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
