Pilou,

Thanks, I think I will manage. The point is that I did not expose yet all the strings.

Hello Fredo. Great stuff!! Thanks for building this.

I am seeing a possible bug. --> Except for zoom, I am not able to navigate the model with my mouse while FredoCorner is active. To be specific, Pan (Middle mouse button + shift) and Orbit (Middle mouse button) do not work via the mouse controls.

Navigation DOES work while using your Round Corner extension

Mac HighSeirra 10.13.6
SketchUp Pro 2018, Version 18.0.16976

Cheers

Well, Yes, I should have thought that Macs would have a problem with this, probably in relation with the values of flags in the mouse events, which I forgot are not the same as on Windows.

Could a Mac user does the following:

Copy the attached rb file TestMacMouse.rb ito its Plugin directory
Open the Ruby console and type flag_mac. This starts a dummy tool tracing the Move and Middle button events
Press the Middle Mouse button, move around and release. Type Spacebar to end the test
Reply to this post with what is displayed in the Ruby console

Thanks in advance.

And sorry for inconvenience for Mac users.

@Fredo : Pas de problème, d'ailleurs je n'avais même pas trouvé le fichier!
Windows est un tel labyrinthe !

On ORBITING on MAC.

I jut published LibFredo6 8.6b, where I tried 'blindly' to fix the problem of Orbiting on Mac.
Thanks to advise

Actually, in my plugins, you translate from within the plugin, not from files: Menu "Language Translation".

But don't worry I'll take care of French in due time.

Fredo,

Your TestMacMouse.rb test results are below:

MButton down flags = 33554432
OnMouseMove flags = 33554432
MButton Up flags = 0

Also, after installing LibFredo6 8.6b, the Pan & Orbit bug appears to be fixed

I hope this helps

Thank you Fredo for your great work.
I created the Chinese simplified language file, here is:

Amazing work Fredo. It's really impressive how much you've put into it.

I always avoid using round corners just because of everything you've tried to circumvent with FredoCorner, so even if I'm already so used to avoid them I will definetely give this one a try.

Thanks for pushing the boundaries! (around corners)

PS: I hope this can open new paths to a lot of stuff being it at the core of Sketchup or only at plugin side of things… let's see what happens!

PS2: I'm not offering for a PT version because I'm out of time, but if you don't have someone else doing it and if you need it, then don't hesitate to ask and I will find the time.

Would it be possible with some kind of Global on/off switch so we can keep SU light and just turn it on before rendering?
Maybe even some code that render engines could use to have it render even without turning it on in SU view?

+1 For the Toogle

+1 For the Render engine only corners

The preview mode is much faster than generating geometry. Would it be possible to send it to a render engine like Thea instead of the sketchup geometry?

A bit like Skatter does.

I can possibly implement a global switch. But again, you have to be extra careful with Undo / Redo.

I'll take an additional approach which may be safer.

There is a problem with the Ctrl key modifier on macOS, the Ctrl key on Mac is like a mouse right-click, it appears the Contextual Menu, generally the function assigned to the Ctrl key on Pc is the Alt Key on Mac.
Example: When I'm in selection mode, if I press Alt key = Single Edge, i.e., the Alt key replaces to the Ctrl key on Mac.
Fredo, is there a solution to this problem?

fredo6

Strange. Normally, Sketchup should take care of that, as it does on PC with the Alt toggle.

By the way, my understanding, the mapping of modifiers between PC and Mac is

Shift on PC --> Shift
Ctrl on PC --> Command (i.e. the apple key)
Alt on PC --> Ctrl

In edge selection, ALT is used for setting the 'all connected edges' mode

as a toggle (press and release), to set/unset this mode as the current mode
when clicking (keep pressed), to temporarily force the selection of all connected edges, regardless of the current mode

Do you have a problem for 1) only, or for both usages?

In any case, I am afraid that the keyboard is lacking modifier keys, on Mac (as for Windows too). So little hope for a solution, especially because I don't have a Mac to troubleshoot.
