      Don't know if there's a plugin for this, hope so.

      What I would like to be able to do is to make a round corner on an object, but have the radius of that corner taper from one dimension, say 6 inches, to another dimension, say 3 inches. And also have that taper begin and end where I want it to.

      Am I wanting too much?

        I'd be inclined to use either TIG's Extrusion tools or Fredo's Curviloft to do it.

        Curviloft did the attached.

          Thanks Dave.

          Bit of a problem -- when I try to download your SKP file I get this error msg
          2013-06-22_213732.png

          I have no interest in downloading the "new and improved" version of SU, at least not at this point in time. Why can't I open the file in the old version?

            You've never been able to use an older version to open a SketchUp file created in a newer version. That's not all that uncommon with software.

            Why the resistance to update?

              Oh, doesn't sound like anything in the new version I need, and I keep seeing all the posts bitchin' about it from every direction. I'll update if it comes to the point where I need to for some reason.

                People spent a lot of time bitching about SU8 when it was released, too.

                I guess you should just be prepared to find more SKP files you won't be able to open. πŸ˜‰

                  It's probably using a sledgehammer to crack a nut but check out Kirill's LSS Toolbar, first image shows face to face via a path which should work:
                  https://googledrive.com/host/0Bwmt-Rax8alUNkFEMjZkOWhfRFU/index.html, also http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=47399&p=426612&hilit=kirill#p426612 and it would appear to be version 8

                  • I won't be upgrading any time soon either; the tide of rage from the early adopters makes me wary.
