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

fredo6

Can you open the Ruby console and tell if you see an error message when you click on a RoundCorner icon.

Also check the dimension of the offset in the palette and the dimensions of your model.

Finally, this type of problem may come from a conflict with other plugins.
There is a list of plugins known to create some comaptibility problems at this post. This may clash with RoundCorner.

Thank you for the quick response. Yes, if I click the first tool this comes up in the ruby console, I have no other plugins installed.

I think I got it, I went to my plugins folder and permissions were set to read only, i made it read and write and now it shows up

Yes, I can confirm that this also fixed it for me on MacOX 10.7.5

thanks for the cool plugin btw. This is life-saver....

I just downloaded the Roundcorners Plugin, and it shows up when I open Sketchup under View<Tool Palettes<Round Corner, but once I open it up and try to use it, nothing happens. I can see the toolbar, and I can select any one of the three options, but from there...nothing.

I'm not sure if I downloaded it wrong or what, but anyone have any ideas?

Dave R

Most likely an installation error. Make sure you put all of the required files where they belong when you installed it. also make sure you installed LibFredo6 correctly as well. In both cases the info you need is in the first posts of the threads. Also, as indicated in the first post of this thread, make sure you've enabled full read and write permissions for the Plugins folder.

thomthom

If you open the Ruby Console (Under the Windows menu) and then try to activate the tool - do you get any error messages then?

Elucidesign

Image should be self explanatory.
The Info Area is Nearly Unusable... Although hovering over the areas ... I can kindof make out what they might do...

I managed to enter the Chamfer Distance for example.

Fredo: Is this within the arena of something you'd (like to) be able to address?
Looks like a pretty necessary, and useful plugin.

Mac Retina.
SU Free.
Fredo6 RoundCorners.

Sincerely, Sef.

Unfortunately, it seems there is no control of the size of text characters from the Ruby API (and I don't have a Mac).

Maybe you could try to go to the Preferences disalog box and see if you can change the size of text labels. May be this will influence the size of text drawn from the Ruby API.

Fredo;

Just found Sketucation, and specifically this plugin... Have been doing this by hand as best I could for more than a month. So, I just wanted to stop in and say that after downloading the file, and trying it out on an incredibly complex shape (succeeding in seconds mind you)... You have officially blown my mindgrapes!

Thank you sincerely,

JGraf82

Jason,

Thanks for the compliment. If your model is complex, it would be useful to post to picture of it (before / after).

Does, too work.

If you want help getting it to work, you'll have to give us something to go on.

My guess is you haven't installed the required LibFredo6 files as clearly spelled out in the first post of the Round Corner thread.

That probably wins this week's prize for most useless error-report
We are not clairvoyants...
You haven't even told us what OS you have, because you haven't bothered to complete your User-Profile!
Help us to help you

Please explain HOW 'it does not work'.
I have it working fine on v2013 [as do many others...]: so unless I/we am/are 'blessed', it just might be you.
Please explain how it doesn't work.
Foe example: does it at least 'load' and make menu/toolbar items that don't then work as expected.
Or does the tool fail somehow else after you manage to get it started ?
Are there any messages in your Ruby Console ?

Please check that you have correctly installed the latest versions of the tool's files AND it's support file/subfolder LibFredo... - all as explained in the tools' download page's info...

PS: Dave beat me to it, but my comments still stand

Try to run SketchUp as Administrator. Also, please, update your profile. I am just guessing that you need to do this and not using Windows XP for instance.

NigeC

Yeah I seem to have permissions problem on Win7 and Sketchup 2013, the plugin works fine if ran as an admin:

I just enabled "run as administrator" in the compatibility options to get around it for now

Dave R

So change the permissions to the Plugins folder to allow you to have full access to it. That will allow you to run without running as administrator.

NigeC

Yeah I know, I try to keep things "as is" when testing, if permissions screw things up at least I can tell the developer what to expect before its released

Huh?

There's nothing to tell the developer. The plugin requires that data entered by the user can be written to a file so that data can be used to do its thing. If you don't have permissions set so that the file can be written, the plugin will give you errors.

If you knew the reason for the error, why didn't you just fix it and move on?

carlocki

no way for me to let it work. I click on it...but nothing happen.
