      NEW RELEASE: Curvizard v2.2a - 23 Nov 18

      Requirement: LibFredo6 8.6m or above

      Curvizard 2.2a introduces new toolbar icons designed by JClements. They are provided in Vector mode (SVG, PDF) and Raster mode (PNG), and thus should scale for hi-res screens on SketchUp versions >= SU2016 (and all versions on Mac)

        Since there's a little hope to see this as core function, I wish we had a commercialFredoSplines with following interactivefeatures:

        1. handles for shape editing
        2. 3 types of control points: smooth\corner\bezier
        3. interactive refinement (=segmentation) control
        4. Important for arch modelling: total slope (in %%) AND (optionaly) total height input

                  This would be different!

                  Anyway, there are already several plugins doing that, like TIG xLine2Line.

                    New feature "Convert to Arc/Circle":

                    Great, thanks a lot Fredo.

                    • Is it correct, that when using "Make curves", that now the curve is converted automatically to an arc as well?

                    • Now I can finally convert the corner edges generated by FredoCorner (using circle rounding) back to arcs, if desired. This then allows adding radius measurements in Sketchup and Layout! 😄

                    • Any chance that this feature is added as an option to FredoCorner for the generation of the corner edges when rounding using circles?

                      Correct. I may introduce an option to disable this behavior however.

                      I understand that you ask for creating curves, possibly arcs when applicable.
                      I assume that only the rounding edges on rounded borders are to be converted to curves.

                        Merci beaucoup Fredo

                        Un outil qui va remplacer avantageusement (parce que beaucoup plus complet) "niline2arc" de Nobnob qui, malgré tout et sans mise à jour depuis 6 ans, fonctionne toujours.
                        Les améliorations que j'apprécie:

                        • sélection multiple, y compris avec les faces
                        • ne pas être obligé d'entrer à l'intérieur des groupes et composants
                        • l'outil reconnait les cercle ou arc même si l'option "convertir en courbe" à été choisie

                        peut être est t'il possible de découvrir d'autres astuces ...

                          Since an arc or n-gon (polygon) is as well a curve, it is not wrong to always convert to an arc or polygon, if it is an arc or polygon. I do not see any disadvantage for this.

                          Yes, only the corner edges, not as well the inner edges or borders.
                          To clarify I marked in below picture the edges.

                            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.

                                  Fredo

                                    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.
