      It won't happen (the curve will be deformed in plan view and it won't even remotely resemble a ramp). That's why CurviShear was created.

        In short, you would like an interactive version of CurviShear....

          No (although I wouldn't disagree). Take a look at TT's Edge tools (last 5 commands).
          https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=tt_edgetools
          I'm talking of CurviShear to adopt the similar way of input.
          I wouldn't call it interactive. I just feed Curvishear real geometry (bunch of connected edges or polyline) and get result without any input in modal window.

            But then tt_edgetools does the job.

            Do I miss something?

            Or do you want to keep the original curve?

              CurviShear generates right 'ramp' curve, TT's 'Make colinear' doesn't. That's the main difference 🙂
              The only CurviShear's weak link is UI.

                Ok. Understood. I put it on my list, but this is what I mean by 'interactive'.

                  Hello, Not sure if I'm posting in the correct location. I have a shape with an image as the face. I'm trying to round the corners and have a smooth transition. However, I'm getting the following results. Is there a workaround, I'm I doing something wrong. I don't think this was a problem in the previous version.

                    It would be helpful to say which tool you use (RoundCorner, FredoCorner, or something else).

                    None of these tools have the objective to ensure texture continuity. In general, texture application should be done after the geometry is generated.

                    Anyway, posting the model would help.

                      Hi Fredo,
                      It's a great plugin, especially ThruPaint. Thank you 😄

                      Is it possible to add an option to paint algong the shortest/lognest sides when painting whole groups/components?

                      It would be great for example for wood furniture so the texture always goes along the long side of a plank. For example when you have a cupboard made of many planks every plank is textured along the longer sides automatically, as it is in real furniture.

                      Now it's kind of random and the only way is to correct it manually face after face.

                        Unfortunately, Sketchup does not provide any UV control for painting objects (groups or components). The positioning of textures is based on axes and position of the objects.

                        So, if you want control of orientation, you have to paint at the face level.

                            Bonjour Fredo,
                            Je rencontre un problème avec "Volume Solide", aussi bien dans SU19 que SU20.
                            Je joins un Gif qui, j'espère sera plus explicite que ma mauvaise prose.

                              Je ne comprends pas trop ce qui se passe dans le Gif. Le modèle me serait plus utile.

                                Bonjour Fredo,
                                Je viens seulement de prendre connaissance de votre réponse, et je vous en remercie. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi je na'ai pas été automatiquement alerté ?

                                Je cherche à connaître le volume de A (qui doit être de 0,00096 m³) que l'on peut obtenir en déduisant C (0,08502 m³) de B (0,08502 m³).
                                "Volume Solides" indique 0,04080 m³ du fait de la présence de "96 faces orientées incorrectement", même après avoir utilisé "AutoReverseFaces", et alors que "Solid Inspector²" ne trouve pas d'erreur.
                                Si j'inverse les faces sur C, "Volume Solides" trouve 241 Faces orientées incorrectement (ce qui est normal), et indique un volume faux. "AutoReverseFaces" corrige l'erreur parfaitement, et dans ce cas "Volume Solides" indique une valeur correcte.
                                Ma question est donc : pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas sur A ?

                                Je viens de me souvenir qu'une version antérieure avais posé problème pour la volume des pièces crées "en miroir" (je n'ai pas retrouvé le post). Je viens donc de le rajouter à mon modèle que joins, le résultat est également faux.

                                      is it possible to do the same with length as ReportLabelArea does with faces.

                                        You need to tell which length...length of edges, length of object bounding boxes, ...

                                          I am interested in the length of edges. The goal is to add up these lengths by layers. That would be wonderful.

                                            First things first. FredoTools aren't supposed to show up in the Extension menu. They are supposed to show up in the Tools menu. Did you look there? Also did you restart SketchUp after installing the extensions?

                                            There's also a toolbar that can be made visible via View>Toolbars.

                                            I am assuming that this is not a version that can be used on SU2020 even though it shows as compatible with 2020.

                                            Not so. FredoTools work just fine in SketchUp 2020. Here is a screen shot from SU2020 showing the menu.

                                            Out of curiosity, when you installed SketchUp 2020, did you right click on the downloaded installer file and choose Run as administrator? BTW, maybe you could update your profile. It still shows you are using SU2017.
