[Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24

sehuz

Hello. Great job with this amazing tool Fredo !
I'v just installed today and test it with the direct link for Twinmotion, sadly the beveling doesn't appear, and also it shows issues on the geometry.
But exporting the model to Twinmotion it works great.

fredo6

What is this "direct link for Twinmotion"?

Did you generate the geometry or just activate the Preview mode (whihc is just drawing, not generating geometry)?

Fredo, could you make the offset faces stay selected after command is executed please? Just like you did in JPP. It'd help tremendously to do some nice things with this separated selection.
P.S. You are one step from making long awaited Groove maker. All it takes is to add is to add 'ignore hard\open edges' option***** in pre-selected geometry and integrate merge coplanar offset faces and JPP inwards.

*- In his video, Ahmed solves this ignoring problem by drawing initial groove lines on separate tag.

Or you have another trick
Make 2 same volumes at the same place !
Fractalize one then Exploded View it
you have your grooves!

I have a file that breaks, I am attaching it in hopes that you can use it to improve the plugin, which is awesome btw. It is a tooth of a gear. I have removed the rest of the gear as it is just too many verts.

I think you should first eliminate the very small edge to make it work.

Currently the limitation is that the offset should be smaller that the shortest edge in the selection. This is true for RoundCorner and FredoCorner.

I would love to buy the [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.3a - 27 Jan 21. However, I am completely lost in where to go to purchase it. Could you please put a link to click that will bring me to the purchase page. I reckon it would have a massive impact on your sales because most people do not have time to follow the hints to where it might be. Brilliant plugin, but please help me to buy it!

Just download and install FredoCorner normally (along with LibFredo6 v11.6).

You get a free trial period of 15 days.

If you wish to license it (before or at expiration of free trial period), go to the menu of FredoCorner, which is at Tools > Fredo6 Collection > FredoCorner > License....

jweaver100

Is FredoCorner free for as long as you are happy to keep updating it? Or is the trial period 15 days and after that, you have to buy it?

I am an occasional user and have just encountered an unexpected problem and its been suggested that this is because I havn't bought it.. And if thats the case I accept that..

But I just want to check that this is the case, as I only use it a couple of times per year, and for me its just not cost effective to buy.

The license is to use the extension. After expiration of the free trial period, you need to buy one if you wish to continue using the extension.

The problem of preselection has nothing to do with the license. FredoCorner would either work or not.

I suggest you open the Ruby console before launching FredoCorner to see if there are error messages.

But as I am out of the evaluation period, its not fair to ask for support... I would have no problem buying FredoCorner if I used it enough.. But I don't and its just not worth it for me..

Edit: Turned out to be a bigger issue.. Other Fredotools (i.e Fredospine) also not working.. It turns out it was a rogue instance of Sketchup which was running in the background.. Killed the tasks from the taskmanager and now its working again.

jweaver100

Now that I have realised that my time with FredoCorner is limited, I need to "evaluate" it to see if there is any functionality that I can find to justify buying it.

One of the things I have always wondered is whether its possible to do an unsymetrical corner?

By this, I mean longer on one axis, than another..

Here is a simulation of what I am trying to explain.

Is this possible?

Yes.. EXACTLY that.. How? I have pressed every button I can find, and its always symetrical (i.e the Offset is the same on both axis..

Dave R

Start the tool and set the initial offset and then click on the green lines that need to get a different offset. Then type that offset. It'll show in the Measurements window.
