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

JQL

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.

Fredo, you are the best! Thank you for yet another incredible tool! I use RoundCorner daily and am very excited for the changes that come with FredoCorner!

Arc

This is full Chinese translation.

Thank you very much. That's a big work.

As you may know, part of the translation of my plugins is located in LibFredo6, where I define some of the common basic strings. So if you have time, it would be nice to complete the Chinese translation of LibFredo6 (it is already largely translated).

Many thanks

Fredo

Bonjour Fredo.
Je crois que tu es français donc je me permet d'écrire en français...
Je viens de télécharger la version v1.1c et j'obtiens un trou a chaque sommet de cube.
Est-ce normal ?

...et j'en profite pour te remercier pour tout ce travail et ces plugins qui sont devenus des outils usuels indispensables au quotidien.

Édit : finalement c’est bon après avoir remis les options par défaut...

Yes, I am working on it.

ALT on PC --> CMD ⌘ on Mac
CTRL on PC --> ALT on Mac

If I use CMD instead of ALT, the 2) usage works fine.
CTRL+Left-click on Mac it's like a right-click, it appears the contextual menu, press and release CTRL key on the Mac does nothing.

I translated the last version on FredoCorner to Spanish language, here is the file:

FredoCorner_ES.lang.zip

Woooh. I thought the equivalent of CTRL on PC was Command⌘ on Mac.
Then within FredoCorner, does the ⌘Z works as the shortcut for Undo (for instance an edge selection), or do you need to use ALT-Z?

I talking about the use of keys modifiers on FredoCorner.

If I press ⌘Z or ALT-Z these modifiers don't work for Undo (for instance an edge selection), I can Undo the operations when I do click on curved arrow (left) of the palette.

Oxer,

You are right. Actually, this is the Sketchup API doing this mapping of CTRL on PC toward ALT on Mac. I always thought it was CTRL on PC toward ⌘ on Mac!!

I can indeed change the behavior.

I just open a thread to get the opinions of Mac users.

Fredo

PS: by the way, in the native Push Pull tool, what is the modifier key on Mac to keep the original face?

I don't know this is a bug or not, but there is a difference between Fredo Corner and Round Corner when applied to simple box with holes.

It's the ALT key on Mac.

Very useful. Thanks a lot.

On Mac, it seems that Sketchup uses Alt as the equivalent of Ctrl on PC. Skeytchup also uses Command on Mac as a modifier (which appears to be the equivalent of Alt on PC).

So I better stick to this convention and keep my plugins the way they work.

Simply, I will change the tooltips and documentation, so that it is reflected.

Hi Fredo,

You make fantastic plugins that allows to explore new design forms and I'd like to thank you for that. It's just I've downloaded your new FredoCorner as it is prefect to model a seat I am working on right now but it doesn't seem to work. I can see the toolbar but don't get the control board. I've got Mac and Sketchup 2017. I'd appreciate any word of advice ::
