Conversion to curve is probably possible.
But be aware that in most cases, this won't be an arc of circle, even if you chose a Circular profile, except in the special cases where the corner is purely made of orthogonal faces.

Looking already forward to it.
Agree, it will not be in all cases an arc. But it is enough, if the edge to be rounded is perpendicular to the face at the end of the edge.

Trivial question but...when something is Converted to guides lines with Curvizard
How to make the inverse ?

TIG xLine2line makes that but you must edit the Group generated above and the little black crosses are always living !

So Curvizard don't make this trivial thing ? (i miss maybe something too

Curvizard could do it, but it is supposed to work on true edges.
So that's why the function 'convert Construction Lines to Edges' should live in another plugin. I did not do it because there was some existing, but it is not too complex.

Will be fine and more speedy than research the good plugin, enter the Group, click the lines, kill the cross points, explode the group etc...

Hi Fredo,
I think this has happened since the latest update to libfredo.
If I remember correctly Smooth, Simplify etc previously left the edges welded but now explode the curve. Unless I'm missing an autoweld setting.

I can reproduce it. Strange. I am looking into the issue and will come back.

Problem of Sketchup curves not constructed fixed with LibFredo6 v9.5d.

Thanks Fredo, a very timely fix as always.

Thanks for signaling the problem. Strange that nobody complained before, as this comes from a bug in LibFredo6 v9.5c, released on 10 January.

Good afternoon. I had a problem while working with smooth_curve. What can I do to treat him?

There seems to be a bug there, but I cannot reproduce it.

Could you open the Ruby console to check if there are errors.

AISmebel

Good afternoon. I hope that I did everything right.
In SketchUp 2018, I had no such problem.
I think that the problem arose due to the transfer of plugins to SketchUp 2020.
Removing Curvizard, LibFredo and installing it again did not solve the problem.

How is your Plugins folder within the ProgramData folder-path ?
The user's Plugins folder in within that user's AppData/Roaming path...
I hope you haven't made it manually ??

Can you try this in the Ruby Console [copy+paste+enter]:
Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
It should return something like:
C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2020/SketchUp/Plugins

If you have not installed SketchUp properly sometimes folder permissions gets messed up...
Close SketchUp/Layout, find the SketchUp installer exe file's icon [probably in Downloads]
Select it, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose 'Repair'

This should sort out permissions and paths etc...

Any other way of installing - e.g. double-clicking the exe file to simply 'Run' it is NOT the same thing and can result in weird errors...

AISmebel

Fredo, thank you very much for your help, everything worked for me. I was very pleased that you were able to help me so quickly.
Thank you for your plugins, they are very strong and very useful for many people.
Take this opportunity to answer me another question =>

Hey.
I use the SketchUcationTool plugin. It helps me quickly and easily expose my plugins. But I noticed that it works correctly when the plugins are located at the address:
\ ProgramData \ SketchUp \ SketchUp 2018 \ SketchUp \ Plugins
Fredo fixed the bug. Perhaps it was not the location of the plugin.

AISmebel

Good afternoon. I have a problem with Curviloft and Curvizard plugins.
Perhaps the problem arose after updating LibFredo6.
Reinstalling the plugins did not help.
Delivered an earlier version of LibFredo6, the problem is not fixed.

This is clearly a bug, and present since v10.0. Thanks for catching.

Could you try on the same model with LibFredo6 v10.3a, just published.

Many thanks

Fredo

AISmebel

Fredo you are a magician !!! ))
It was not me who caught the error, but rather she me;))
I work in SketchUp and the slightest mistake in plugins makes my work uncomfortable. So thank you very much again!
The second time I turned to you with a problem, and the second time we pleased me with its speed of solving it.
P.S. The new version of LibFredo6_v10.3a fixed everything. So far, I do not see any errors.
