[Plugin] SketchyBevel 0.1(Updated May 11)

[Daniel S]

Thank you Chris!!! Extra line is the solution

PS. Not very important but when you apply the sketchybevel tool 2 times.. the plugin create a lot of extra lines that are not used and not create faces... is there a way to easily eliminate this lines?

Only thing you can do is turn off "cap holes" after 1st bevel and then fill them in by hand. Hopefully I can figure out how to eliminate the extra faces in future version.

Daniel, you could also try running that CAD cleanup script that was recently released (sorry i cant remeber exactly what its called or who its by )

EDIT: this is the one i meant.

Missed this one while I was away, but a nice present upon my return - Thanks!

Thank you, but it dosen´t work with this lines. I have another old script that removes unused Edges but don´t delete this ones.

It´s not a big problem, but when you use soften edges this lines affect the model.

too bad i don't visit the ruby forum...i found a link to this topic in the Kerkythea forum.

anyway, thanks a lot for this plugin!

Chris, this is incredibly useful script. What a stud you are. Thank you very much. In case anybody was wondering, this works in SU5 as well as SU6.

I have a little problem with Bevel and components...

that aside, this script is incredible!!! )

Ah yes, the old "delete the related components" trick. It's a feature.

Actually I see the same thing. It appears that the plugin doesn't appreciate components.

Still, thank you very much for this.

So the problem is that you cant bevel geometry inside a component?

Ill try to fix that next version.

[Dave R]

That seems to be half of what Jon was illustrating. The other is that the other instances of the component get deleted and the one that is being edited ends up exploded.

Thanks again for this plugin.

Dear Majid,

Remember, the input is in inches. Try using a fraction like 0.01 inches.

Have been following this thread for a while, great ruby!!

Is there a chance of the plug-in being converted to metric for those of us on the other side?

cheers,

[Jon]

Oh, That. Yeah Ill fix.

Thanks a lot

May 11 update.
-Fixed hang bug if input box canceled.
-Beveling now works inside of groups and components.
-Bevel amount should now be in the set unit format (meters, cm, feet, etc)
-Somewhat better capping of holes. Still far from perfect. Sometimes it still leaves holes so there is a "Cap Holes" right click option.

[CadFather]

fantastic, i used to get some persistent error message at times - end task being the only way out - i'll report if any.. Thank You

This may be a dumb question but when I try to download the file I keep getting it in text format... do I just the delete the .txt from the end of it or just put it in the script folder and it knows what to do? Ohh.. and I am using Safari as my internet browser.

[remus]

You'll need to change the file extension to .rb for it to work. Not sure why its downloading it as a .txt though perhaps some of the more apple savy have an answer?

[BubbaLove]

Figured it out... for some reason Safari downloads it as a txt file for some reason. Worked like a charm in IE even though I don't like using IE. Thanks Remus!

[solo]

I use safari on my Mac and .rb's save normally, must be a setting.

[BubbaLove]

I looked at my preferences... everything is the way it is supposed to be. Maybe it is because I'm using Safari on Windows or something. Do they automatically save to your desktop or does it give you an option on where you want to save it?

[solo]

Yup to the desktop unfortunately, I hardly use the Mac so it's no big deal really. every now and again I have to clean it all up as I run out of space on desktop.

[REGIS]

Hi
with safari 2 it saves on the desktop but with safari 3 and 10.5 it saves where you want and you can check this in safari's preferences
Never tried safari 3 with 10.4
