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

[stoneshawnp]

Thanks TIG. I am learning a bit more about the Architecture here.
I renamed my Plugin's directory & created a new empty one.
Then I started re-installing the Plugin's 1-by-1, and so far RoundCorners as such, is working again.
When (if) i figure out the offending Plugin, I will post it here.

Thanks for helping a Newbie!

Fredo, you're a God-send! Thank you so much. One question for you...is there a way to map textures to the curves or have it to use already placed maps? It doesn't seem to like image maps

Do you have an example to illustrate it?

Fredo

Voila! Obviously not a real-world example but it's easier to understand the issue vs. if had i shown wood. Not sure if there's a way around this though given SU's limited texture/uvw functionality...

Small Update...

I went through 1-by-1 and re-installed every plugin I have until I found the conflict with RoundCorners.. It seem to be the Ledas Driving Dimensions (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=13808&hilit=ledas+driving+dimension or otherwise http://drivingdimensions.com/. When I disable this plugin, my "BugSplats" with RoundCorners disappear.

... Great Forum! also very interested to see the feedback to the Texture question just posted

I have already told the Driving Dimensions author [Dmitry Ushakov] about the conflicts the tool has with other plugins about a month ago - the faults are on his side because he messes with base class/methods... It seemed OK in v8, but v7 was causing problems with a few tools [similar to SketchyPhysics] - but your problem occurs in v8 ? ...

Yes. Problem occurs in SU Pro 8 (installed on both Windows XP & Windows 7 machines).

Have you installed it as the instructions, with the supporting files etc, as explained on the download page ?
If so why can't you 'use it'?
Do you get Preferences>extension_to_activate/menu_items/view>toolbar>toolbar?
Do you get error messages when using it?
Do you get error messages in the Ruby Console when using it?
Please give more details, to help us help you...

[Pitoon]

how can i get the icons back up...i closed them by accident? .......been trying for half an hour where to find them?

thanks!

If that's the plugin toolbar you closed, you can reactivate it from the View > Toolbars menu.

I have problem running RoundCorner on my mac with OSX 10.7.2.

Everything was fine on OSX 10.6.x, but after I "upgrade" to 10.7, RoundCorner hangs on processing. I have to force quit Sketchup.

The following images are screen shots when RoundCorner hangs.

I'll have to count on Mac users to tell if they have this problem too (I don't have OSX Lion).
Just in case, can you open the Ruby Console before launching RoundCorner, in case you see some messages before Sketchup hangs.

Hi Fredo,

Thanks for the reply.

Nothing show up in the Ruby Console.

This is a possible workflow with SU's native tools supposing you already have a cone as a start.

thanks , Another problem I found here

[Gaieus]

From the picture it seems that those diagonals could be safely deleted. Try to run the plugin after that.

For rounding the tip of a cone, I suggest you use Massimo's method.

With RoundCorner, you can do the rounding, but:

1. you need to make the edges plain (i.e. non soft, non smooth)
2. the edges will be themselves rounded, which won't leave the surface of the cone smooth.

Also, for the cone, you can truncate the tip and apply round corner only on the top circle. It's a bit of a fiddling around what settings to use but the result will be fine.
