By selecting these options, you can set the geometry created to softened, smoothed, or both, allowing a smoother curve. The other thing I want to talk about is your edge properties. A higher number here will create a smoother curve, but will also create more geometry. With round corner, you can select the offset you’d like to use, as well as the number of segments created when you round your corners off. Now, let’s run quickly through some of the options – we’re only going to focus on the most important ones. You can hold shift and click on multiple faces to round multiple edges. Alternatively, you can activate the tool, then click on a face to select only certain edges to round.
You can use this tool in several ways – if you select a whole object and run the tool, it will round all the edges. If you select sharp corners, you’ll also create a rounded object, but the corners will be created differently.īevel will allow you to create a single beveled edge. For example, if you select round corners, you can create a rounded edge all the way around your object. In order to activate this tool, select the object you’d like to round off, then click on the corresponding tool that you’d like to use. Each of these will create a different result. When you open this extension up, it shows three different options in the toolbar – Round corners, sharp corners, and bevel edges.

Please note, as with all the extensions from Fredo6, you’re going to need to install “LibFredo” from the extension warehouse as well for it to work.
#ROUND CORNER TOOL SKETCHUP DOWNLOAD#
You can download it from the SketchUp extension warehouse. This is extension does exactly what it sounds like – it rounds off corners of shapes. In this SketchUp Extension Tutorial Video, we’re going to talk about using an extension that I’ve talking about in the past, RoundCorner, in order to quickly create beveled and rounded edges.
