And also, it seems to be related to the selection mode ,
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=31401i'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?) -

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

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.

Please, PLEASE help me here. I'm trying to round edges on a cube but I never get any green lines to show where it's going to round, and if I press enter anyway my model just completely explodes everywhere, turning into a mess of whatever. Can anyone give an idiot some simple instructions?

Watch the Offset value (indicated in the button palette). It may be either too big or too small relative to your cube.

thanks for plugin, very, very usefull.
Maybe a quad chamfer like this http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/quad-chamfer in future versions? It's better to edit uv's and apply subdivision later.Thanks again.

RoundCorner allows specifying the number of segments, so with '4s' you will obtain what you refer to as quad chamfer (unless I missed something!).
Note however that Roundcorner is not able to support the concave / convex corners with 6 rounding which is shown is the picture (regardless of the number of segments for the rounding).Fredo

Yep, all the faces are quad faces, not that there are 4 segments that make the curve. Quads are better than tris if you use subdivision in your workflow.

OK I got it!
The problem is that this quad faces would not be planar, and therefore would be build from 2 triangles in Sketchup. Let's not forget that Nurbs-based modelling tools display shapes with quads which are usually not planar (that's what Curviloft doe in preview mode), but it does not really matter because the rendering is also taken care by the software without going to the true geometry with facets.

I think this plugin somehow does "somethnig" to the CPU that stops Twilight from work.
How it happens: I have a SU instance where TW is rendering... I work something else in another SU instance and I use the plugin. It is slow responsive, especially when I try to open the inputbox to change rounding and precision values. In the end I can use it. But, when I look on the other SU window, where the render goes on... the passes counter is stopped. If I pause the render, then I resume it, everything works again.
If this is TW related, rather thant RoundCorner issue, maybe Fletcher should be advised?Thank you.

Dereeei,
I don't have twilight and I would need to install it to investigate.
In the meantime, maybe some other Twilight users could try to reroduce your case with 2 instances of SU and advise if there is this performance problem.
By the way, is it just for RoundCorner or for other plugins like ToolsonSurface?

I will try with TOS too, as soon as I can and I will post the conclusions.
Thanks for your attention.
