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

[highlight=#ffffbf:2jyd3me9]Doesn't work on SketchUp 2013 [/highlight:2jyd3me9]
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.

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?

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

Before we go any further... please provide ALL of your details in your User-Profiles - OS, version etc.
Please explain you issue more clearly...
Your report suggests that you get a toolbar and clicking a button appears to do nothing ?
Open the Ruby Console from Sketchup > Window and see what error messages you have...

My best guess [based on nothing but instinct] is you haven't downloaded/installed the required 'helper' "LibFredo..." as explained quite clearly in the tools notes...
Almost none of Fredo's tools will work without this 'helper'.
If it appears that you have installed it, then please check your Plugins folder's security permissions - they must be FULL... Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... set to FULL for everyone listed, OK/Apply.
Some of Fredo's tools need to write logs etc to the Plugins folder [subfolder] so FULL permissions are a must.
If earlier permissions have prevented you from installing the Lib correctly, then having 'Compatibility File' in the Plugins folder's top-bar in Windows Explorer is a clue - the files/folder having gone into a VirtualStore folder to protect you from yourself - because by default Windows does not give full access to files/folders in the 'Programs Files' folder tree

ACCESS: Permission denied

You need to set administrator privileges to allow full access to the Plugins folder. This is exactly the same as the previous report.

Please complete your profile as TIG requested.

Well, you haven't given us anything in the way of information to help you troubleshoot the problem so the best we can do is give you the two most common problems.

First: You haven't installed it correctly.
Second: You haven't installed the required LibFredo6 files.
Third: You haven't set permissions for the Plugins folder correctly.

It could be any or all of these.

That looks like a good blog post. Thanks for doing it. That exact same thing has been covered here on SCF dozens of times but apparently it can't be addressed too many times since people are still missing this important step. It isn't just Round Corner that this pertains to, either.

petrusyap

Hi Fredo,

I would like to ask about this most useful plugin I have ever used for sketchup, RoundCorner. The plugin is successfully installed in my SketchUp 2013, however, every time i try to make the roundcorner process, it will create a bugsplat and exit SU directly. I am using Windows 8 Pro and SketchUp 2013 Pro. Please advise. Thank you.

For your information: the plugins i used in my sketchup, Vray 1.6beta, TTCleanup, Artisan, Quadtools, VrayTools, Extrude Tools, Tools on Surface.

Dave R

Try disabling V-ray--the first plugin you listed. It has been known to cause conflicts with other plugins.

Thanks all - for the plugin & the sorting out the 'security' fix - I was in same boat, which is now a curved bottom wonder!

sketchuh

i can't see the fredo's roundcorner in tools menu..i am using sketchup 2013. i am pretty sure i installed it and other necessary plugins correctly. i don't know why i can't find it in the menu!
