I've just installed RoundCorners plugin and I'm trying to get it to make disproportionate corners like the 300mm x 100mm corner below.

With RoundCorners, I set A=300mm and B=100mm, but when I generate the corner, it comes out 300mm x 300mm, like this:

What am I doing wrong?

I've solved the problem now. It was caused by the fact that the label area is not a perfect rectangle (it has a curve at the top) and the image I am using for the texture is rectangular.

When importing the image for the texture, I was trying to place it by clicking on the bottom right corner of the label area and dragging up to the top right corner. But, because of the curve at the top, the top right corner is off the model so the image wasn't sticking.

Instead I just click in the middle of the area to place the texture and then right-click > texture > position.

Trying to put a label on a bottle but the image won't go on the designated surface. Instead it appears on the small surface immediately below the label surface at the base of the bottle. The label surface seems to have a diagonal ridge on it. Could that be causing the problem? How do I fix it?

HornOxx, that's exactly what I want, but my toolbar doesn't have the other icon which opens up the additional options.

@utiler said:

Its called "Z fighting". Where two planes are co-planer....

A simple google search of Z fighting will explain for you.

Thanks for providing the name for this phenomenon. I've looked up z fighting and see that it is caused by 2 surfaces occupying the same plain. So, in my case, the answer was to delete the google map since I was finished with it anyway. For those having trouble deleting the google map, you have to unlock it first (right-click > unlock) then erase it (right-click > erase).

I'm using Sketchup Make v16.0.19912 64-bit and want to show the full shadows toolbar with exact time and date textboxes, like the one below.

At the moment I can only show the other one which only has the month and time sliders.

Hi,

I've made a model of some fences and buildings on top of a google map in order to study the sun angles and shadows of the site. However, the ground surfaces are all jagged? Why is this and how do I fix it? How can I remove the google map background?

I tried Jean and Gaieus's solutions and both are better than what I was doing. Thanks.

After constructing the tube, I put a label on it. I have been doing this by projecting an image from a rectangle (see attachment).

1. Edit>Import>select image and import as texture
2. Position image on rectangle
3. Select Paint Bucket and click on image in the materials pallet
4. With Paint Bucket, right-click on image>Texture>Projected
5. Alt+click on image and then click on the tube

Is this the best way to put a label on the tube?

I am designing cosmetic containers and having trouble making tubes such as for toothpaste and other creams (see attachment). The body of such tubes has a circular base and a line as the apex (I'm not sure what the geometric term for this shape is. Some kind of cone?).

The way I have been making this shape is as follows:

1. Draw a circle
2. Push to a cylinder
3. Scale the top circle into the thinnest ellipse possible in order to make a "line"
4. Scale the the thin ellipse in the other direction in order to stretch the tube to the right width

This is okay, but ideally I would like to have a single line at the top rather than a very thin ellipse.

Is there a way to do that?
