Round front edge of

[davesexcel]

` prompts = ["length", "width","height"]
defaults = [36.0,10.0,1.0]
input = UI.inputbox prompts, defaults, "Tread."

if input == false
UI.messagebox("All Must Be Entered")
else
a,b,c=input
UI.messagebox("Tread input accepted!, #{input}!")
end

ent = Sketchup.active_model.entities
face = ent.add_face [0,0,0], [a,0,0], [a,b,0], [0,b,0]
#face.reverse!
face.pushpull c`

I am using the above code, how can I round the front edge of my drawing. for example Height is 1, then I would like the front to be rounded with 1" diameter.

thanks.

You will probly get better answers and but I would draw the end face wich would include the radius and push the length. I did this for my loose tenons. I used simple trig to calculate as many radius points needed. The built in radius would be more flexible but I never got the hang of it.

Ps. Send pm if interested in my code.

One possibility

prompts = ["length", "width","height"]
defaults = [36.0,10.0,1.0]
input = UI.inputbox prompts, defaults, "Tread."


if input == false
UI.messagebox("All Must Be Entered")
else
a,b,c=input
UI.messagebox("Tread input accepted!, #{input}!")
end

ent = Sketchup.active_model.entities
ent.add_line [0,b,0],[0,0,0]
ent.add_arc [0,0,c/2.0],[0,0,-1],[-1,0,0],c/2.0,0,180.degrees,6
ent.add_line [0,0,c],[0,b,c]
edg=ent.add_line [0,b,c],[0,b,0]
edg.find_faces; face=edg.faces[0]
#face = ent.add_face [0,0,0], [a,0,0], [a,b,0], [0,b,0]
#face.reverse!
face.pushpull -a

You could use Fredo6 Round Over.

I do this for curved stairs with radius corners.
I use a polygon mesh and fill in all the surfaces.

Thanks a lot for the replies. The code actually draws it the way I would draw it manually.
Thanks!
