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

fredo6

Hi Fredo
Have you seen this SketchUp blog post? http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2010/07/take-edge-off-roundcorners.html
You've been featured - very nice article with lots of great action screenshots!

Very good tutorial by Aidan.
This proves that the users of scripts are the best to explain what a script can be used for!

It seems like some modules are still being defined even when the extension is disabled.

RoundCorner, for example exists even if the plugin is disabled in the Extensions list.

Correct, but the module is almost empty. No code is loaded actually.

I was looking for a method to tell me if the Toolbar was available. I tried
defined?(RoundCorner) which is defined even if the extension is disabled.

Hello. Is it only me or the link that leads to the LibFredo6 3.3a post is broken? I can't get it opened here, forum gets an error.

Thank you

andretbms is right. If you go to the main post:
link error.JPG
It says http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17947#p144178
If you click in the link:

It should be changed for the correct link:

In hoverselect (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=18916)
there is also the same problem:

I didn´t try with the other Fredo plugins... but perhaps the link problem is on every post.
Fredo or some moderator can change the links?

Since nobody mention this problem before... perhaps is because in the last SFC 5 minutes URL change(http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=29947), somebody break the automatic redirection?

Thanks guys, I have updated the link.
It would normally work this way as well because there's a wild card redirect only it's not working now because there's some maintenance going on in the main site. See Coen's post about those URL changes.
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=29947

anyway, when you see such a broken link, just swap the www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/ part of the link to forums.sketchucation.com/

Gaieus

Just for the record guys, the redirect has been fixed. Now both url's / links should point to the same post.

And thanks again for the alarm!

I noticed this plugin could not smooth this vertex.

However, I was able to bevel it manually without any problems.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3 (the final result)
If you wanted to sharp the corner, you could do this:

And, if you wanted to round the corner, you could do this:

Please post an update.

Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone can help me. I have installed both lib fredo file and the round corner plugins as instructed, however when i launch sketchup, i get a warning message that says

*"Cannot load plugin Round Corner because the script cannot create DEFPARAM_Dir folder in: Users/kylebc86/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/ Sketchup/ Plugins

Please create it manually respecting the case"*

Anybody have any idea what i need to do. Thanks in advance

Kyle,

Just as the message says, create a folder named DEFPARAM_Dir in the directory Users/kylebc86/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 7/ Sketchup/ Plugins

The script cannot create it by itself, probably because of some security settings on your Mac.

Brilliant, thanks Fredo, had a feeling it was something as simple as that.

Salut,
C'est très très lent sur ma machine. Une solution ?

Dear All,
I recently update to sketchup 8, get the last fredo lib (3.4c) and the last roundcorner plugin.
I also change windows to mac os.
I have tried roundcorner plugin on sketchup 7 on windows (work fine), sketchup 7 and 8 on Mac (just crash or really lagy).
Any idea for this problem?

I am using Mac os 10.6

Thank for reply,

Thank for reply,

Juju,

Can you be more explicit:

when is it slow: when you luanch it, when you select edges, when you generate the round geometry?
when does the crash on Mac happen?
is it slow for complex models or regradless?

Thanks

Hi Fredo,
First congratulation for this plugin (very usefull).
I will try to explain my problem clearly in English (i am french native)
To be more explicit:
I have made some tries with complex and very simple models (simple cube), the problem is exactly the same.
(I might think that the problem come from the ToolBar display, but I am not expert).

When I launch the tool, sketchup became lagy (almost freezing) and the toolbar make long time to appear (minimum 20 seconds).
It is mostly impossible to change the parameters on the tool bar (take 1, 2, 3 minutes to respond). I also try to change the settings with the Sketchup toolbar (the one at the right bottom) and the problem is still the same.
The probleme is the same if I want to select an edge.
If i do not change parameters (avoiding me 5 to 10 minutes of waiting), I can validate the action and Sketchup does the round corner. But it is also very laggy (2 to 3 minutes between my click and the corner drawing).

To resume, Sketchup become really lagy as soon as I launch the round corner tools.

The strangest thing is that when I use the round corner, not only sketchup freeze but my whole mac interface.

I hope my explanations are clear.

Thanks for your help,
Julien

Julien,

Do you notice the same lagy behavior when you use my other plugins using the button palette interface (such as Curvilft or Tools On Surface)?
When you execute the operation (click with green check mark), do you see the progressbar immediately and then progressing slowly, or do you see it appearing only at the end briefly? This will tell me if the problem is in the GUI refresh or in the global execution of the ruby code.
Also, do you have a real crash on your Mac, or is it just álmost freezing'?
To Mac users: Do you have the same bad experience with RoundCorner?

Fredo

JujuSKP

Fredo,

Your other plugin such as Tools On Surface work fine (I just download and test the last version of Tools on Surface)
Yes, the progress bar is working normally (As soon as I execute the operation, progress bar works and quickly). The difficult and laggy thing is to launch the operation.
Not a real crash, my commands doesn't respond until sketchup come back to normal.

Hope it helps
thanks
