Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try a few things, I think there are faces not meeting up forming the inside corner. If I still have an issue I'll attache the file. Thanks again.

Hello All,
I using SU to draw up a few parts for a race car team.
I found a good number of very helpful plugins.
Today I got RoundCorner from Fredo6 installed and working.
There are some cases where I can't get inside edges to select.
E.g. a small cylinder stuck in a larger cylinder forms an inside circular "edge".
The complete edge selects otherwise.
Any tips to get this working will be appreciated.
I'm having good luck with "outside" edges. This is great tool.
Probably the next plugin I'll get or buy is something that allows subtracting solids.
Thanks.

What errors do you get if you try to run the tool with the Ruby Console open.
Are the two lines coplanar and in the same context ?

This is very embarrassing. It appears the issue is I need to press enter after putting in numbers in the radius entry box. I think I'm OK now. Thanks, sorry to bother you.

The issue is back - fillet not working again.
Looks like the issue is related to the fillet icon cursor hover and/or finding the second line.
The fillet cursor is now finding lines where there are none. Also as previously mentioned when the second line is identified, but not selected, by the "Line 2" box popping up the radius input box goes to zero. Even re-entering the radius doesn't work, when the radius is entered the "Line 2" box near the cursor goes away, this goes back and forth.
My machine is an ASUS K50IJ Series, SU8 free, Vista. I'll keep trying and see if I can identify when it works and doesn't. I have Center Point, PipeAlongPath, ToggleUnits running at the same time. Maybe Toggle Units is the culprit.

I just posted was having trouble with fillet, now it is working.
Sorry, not sure what was going on. Seems OK now.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the fillet tool to work. The other 2D tools functions I've tried seem to work.

I select line one, enter radius e.g. " 3" ", when I hover over the second line as soon as the "2 line box" appears the radius entry clears, this is before I click on the line.

I've tried different things over a two day period, maybe spent 4 hours on trying different jungle dances to get the thing to work. Almost for sure it is something lame I'm doing. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. -Henry

System is Vista and SU8. Downloaded 2D Tools 5.0, extracted all from the download folder to the plugins folder, the two files and a folder mentioned were there. I then started SU8. Made two lines 1' long joined at the origin and along two axes. Clicked on fillet icon, clicked on a line, entered " 3" " in the radius box, tried clicking on line 2 as mentioned above.

Hi,
Henry again here.
I'm new and having trouble getting plugins to work.
I have Vista and SU8.
How do I find the correct forum location to post questions for e.g. 2DTools or k_tools_50.rb ?
For k_tools_50.rb I'm using the right click to setup the function, so I think I'm doing that correctly.

Re: 2DTools
I downloaded 2Dtools_4.9(1).zip and installed per the instructions.
I can get the pull downs to work/etc.
Select intersecting lines and can't get the fillet to happen. Tried a number of different sequences of inputting the radius/etc. with 1" or 1' and other radius values, after checking that the radius was reasonable considering the length of the lines.

Re: k_tools_50.rb
I downloaded k_tools_50.rb and got it to work a few times and now can't get it to work.
The function I want is to put a fillet between two lines..

Sorry for the newbee questions.

Thx,
-Henry

Hello. I'm Henry. Got the SketchUp bug a few days ago. In the past I had considerable seat time with NX, was called Unigraphics. I'm working on modeling custom race car parts for a Bonneville team. I like to design mechanical systems, e.g. now looking at chain drives, belt drives/etc. I found, downloaded and got working PipeAlongPath and it worked great. Need for chassis layout. I can't find where to download it now to put on my home computer, I'll eventually figure it out. I also am using the k_tools for putting a filet between two lines. I hope I posted this in the right spot.
Thanks,
-Henry
