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

Gaieus

...I was on a deadline and needed a quick way to achieve rounded corners. ...can a moderator please pm me the link, I'd still like to use the plugin for future projects.

See your email. But then come back and let's fix this issue as it should be working fine.

Gaieus

Sorry, LibFredo contains an exe file and the email is not sent. See your PM then.

Hi Fredo,

I'm also having trouble with the round corner tool making the program run really slow. Seems to be related to the palette...once this is minimized it works fine, but its is such a pain trying to enter dimensions when the program becomes so clunky with the palette open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, can't do without this tool.

Can you confirm your run SU on Windows? (i.e. not on Mac)

Also, when you shrink the palette, do you have fluid performance, or just an improvement?

Fredo

PS: when the palette is shrinked, you access the parameter settings by typing TAB

Hi,

I'm running SU on Mac, OS X version 10.6.7 (I have windows at work, works fine on that. I thought this issue was related only to mac, apologies for not mentioning in previous post)
Once I shrink the palette it runs smooth enough, tho often I have to clean up edges after the tool has completed the round.

i'm running on an imac intel i5 dual core with 8gb of ram.

cheers

Hi Fredo

Any ideas why tool doesn't work so well on my Mac????

cheers

I am still scratching my head where it can come from, why it is only on Mac and why only for Roundcorner (the palette package is the same for other plugins like Curviloft and TOS).

Several Mac users have reported the problem, so there must be a rational explanation.

Still investigating

By the way, can you confirm the follwoing point:

When you start Roundcorner on an empty selection

Do you have to wait to see the button palette appear for the first time ?
or slow behavior is only when you move the mouse(which refreshes the palette) without clicking ?
Or is it only when you select edges that you have the slow behavior?

Also, can you open the Ruby console when you run RoundCorner, in case there are messages displayed.

Thanks

fwiw, here's roundcorner on my laptop (15" i7) but it works the same on my desktop (2.66quad macpro)..

[flash=853,510:3hfz6m0m]http://www.youtube.com/v/CFV33Eu8Y6I?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0[/flash:3hfz6m0m]

as you can see, everything works fine.. i used this example because it had so many edges to round but even then, it only took 6 seconds.. a simple box is basically instantaneous..

also, orbiting etc. works fine as well when the palette is up..

i wish i could make roundcorner work not so well in order to help find a solution but i've tried literally 100 different things to mess it up and i can't do it..

Jeff,

Apparently the issue of performance appears for some Mac users, not all.
And also, it seems to be related to the selection mode , not to the generation of geometry. I understand that it is related to the display and refresh of the button palette.

Fredo

PS: on my slow laptop on XP, your model takes less than 2 second to round, with 6 segments for rounding.
EDIT: if the Arc curve is exploded, then it takes around 7 seconds, like in your video

that reminded me of some issues with the Render[In] plugin.. (though it affected both macs & pcs)..
basically, normal SU selection was hit very hard and would take minutes to select instead of instant..

here's the thread on that:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=31401

i'm wondering if another plugin could be causing this?
can some of you with the roundcorner/mac problems post the contents of your sketchup plugins folder? (and maybe the tools folder while you're at it?)

Hi Fredo,

If I have the palette minimized from the previous time I used it, there is no lag(the little palette in the top left pops up straight away).

However if the palette was open the previous time, it takes a minute or two to appear. From there(with the palette open) the tool is slow in everyway. When I move the cursor over a part of the model, it does not change colour depending on what type of edge/face you are selecting(like it does on windows), even moving the cursor is not very responsive. If I then decide to select an edge without seeing the colour change on the cursor, i could wait maybe 1 to 2 mins to see the selection highlighted. Its not workable at all.

Unfortunately, I've only bought a Mac recently and I am unsure how to bring up the rubyscript thing you mentioned, maybe some1 could explain??

Thanks for your help.
