[Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24
-
That's stunning work! Congrats
Did you consider having a simpler toggle button like SubD's, instead of the undo/repair?
-
Wow, thank you Fredo!
-
Oh BOY!!!!!! Thank you for this!
-
impressive!
-
Can't wait to try it!
-
Fredo does it again !
-
Thanks to all for your encouragements.
One thing I forgot to mention (it's now done in the main post) is that FredoCorner will become a paid plugin after a 2-3 months beta period. It will also only support SU2016 and above. RoundCorner will continue to exist and be supported as a free plugin.

And so it should, you need to be paid for your excellent work.

This is phenomenal! Thank you, thank you, thank you Fredo!
-
Congratulations Fredo!!
This is a incredible tool and it's very useful to make the complex shapes more realistic, thanks for your efforts. -
AWESOME!!!
This really looks fantastic. Great work. Thank you very much!

That would be useful.

Impressive.

The great return of Fredo

I take the idea of the Modifier, which was my initial goal, but is more complex to do.
A real modifier system in SU would be great. Maybe if some of you plugin geniuses could join together to get Trimble to at least support this effort, if it would be possible with some modifications in the SU code.
Based on the experience of the last years i think we won't see any real improvements of SU in the near future, but maybe there would be a way to extend the capability in form of payed extentions that go deeper than the current plugins.btw. If you can store this rounding information with the object, would it be possible to implement material IDs on this level?

What do you mean exactly by storing "material id"
Fredo
PS: The modifier concept is difficult to implement in Sketchup, native or within extension, because Sketchup does not track the operations, except locally in the Undo stack, but anyway not with the parameters and description of what has been done. So I am afraid that:
- a modifier system would require you use its framework for everything you do in SU (grasshopper approach)
- or you have very specialized modifiers for some functions provided by extensions, as I may come up with with FredoCorner.

I mean material IDs like in other other programs, which can be used for multi materials, random materials, object distribution or selection sets.
Here in max:
1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJiwnQ3anwM
2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8qQlb8HupIOr used in RailClone for distribution of objects

Then you could have a set of lines with assigned materials and they will be applied to the extruded faces. Combined with an automatic generation of mapping coordinates that follow the extrusion like it is already possible in ThruPaint, this could be really helpful i think (video 2).

Thanks Fredo for this incredible tool!!
There is an issue on macOS 10.13.6 & SU2016, when the tool is activated I can't orbit (through shortcut: Ctrl+Cmd) to select edges.
I created the Spanish language file, here is: -

What is Ctrl+Command doing exactly.
Note: I had to implement a custom orbit and Pan tool within FredoCorner, because otherwise, it would not be possible to see the preview, which is simply drawn in the viewport.
You will notice it, because unlike the native orbiter, mine stops orbiting when the mouse is not in the viewport (i.e. over toolbars or dialog boxes).
On Windows, the following is implemented
- Middle mouse button --> orbit
- Middle mouse button + shift --> Pan
- Middle mouse button + Ctrl --> Free orbit (i.e. not keeping horizontal floor)
- Middle mouse button + Left mouse button --> Pan
I have assumed it would be the same on Mac.
So please tell me if it is different and also if there are extra features that I missed.
Fredo
PS: For the translation, very kind of you. Thank you. Actually, in v1.1a, not all strings are exposed yet, so there will be a remaining part (same for LibFredo6)

Ok, I see the concept, and it might be useful.
However, all what is shown in the videos seems to be beyond the power of Sketchup, unless this is implemented natively or explicitely supported by the Ruby API.Since SU2017, where a change was introduced that severely damaged the only robust pattern to control the generation of geometry based on temporary groups, it is extremely difficult to propagate information when you create new geometry derived from an old one containing this information. It is challenging, even for something as simple a FredoCorner, where the only information I propagate is about edge properties and face materials.
So I am afraid that extensions will remain fairly limited in this domain, and for the concept of modifiers too, except in some specific situations.
