        That worked.

        It looks like your model runs afoul of a thing that Fredo6 referred to in the FredoCorner thread. See: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=70149&start=210#p668828

        RoundCorner still works, though.

        FWIW, I see you have Units set to Architectural, Precision is faily coarse for the size of the component, and you have Length Snapping enabled. I would suggest that you at least set precision finer and turn off Length Snapping. I would also use Fractional instead of Architectural units but that's just a preference.

        And you might want to reset the Advanced Camera tools to get rid of the wide gray bars.

        I see why your file is so large. The plywood texture file is huge. Considerably larger than a texture image like that ought to be for SketchUp.

          Here's the component with rounded edges. I have no idea what radius you really want. The dimension shown in your screen shot surely isn't correct but that's due to the coarse Display Precision you are using.

          I reduced the texture size a bit, purged unused stuff from the file, and reset the axes to their default location. The file size is still a little large for a single component but it's a lot better than it was.

              Thanks, I finally got a chance to check out the model. I did take your advice with changing the setting for units and type.

              The two bands on the side were because I was in the midst of working with vray and I had the safe frame turned on. I neglected to turn it off before sending you the model.

              I did get round corner to work, but I see that I'm having problems that you did not have in that the edge material is getting picked up and probably reverting to the 90 degree rotation it had before I adjusted it. I tried getting down to 1/64 offset thinking I could avoid it, but it's still showing. I'm wondering what offset you did use and if you possibly repainted after rounding? Though I don't think that would make the difference.

              Thanks again

                If you look at the texture for the edge grain, you'll see that I set it to be projected and the aplied it to the edges of the piece.

                  Ah, makes sense. I'll take a look. Did you use ThruPaint?

                    No. I thought about it but decided that the native tools would do the job just fine.

                    I forgot to mention that I did select the edges border the large faces and hide them instead of softening/smoothing them.

                        Good enough. If it's a simple thing like this and can be handled in a couple of clicks with native tools I usually don't bother using an extension but there's often more than one way to accomplish things in SketchUp.
