For any of you that use or consider using free Google SketchUp program....especially to create objects for use in TFP (import .skp file) (and can also then export the object to other 3D programs)...

Don't forget to consider installing free (some cost $) ruby scripts.

I just installed Fredo's "round corners" and it is great. There are hundreds more from many users that make using SU easier to do tasks that do not come with the program.

This one will round any number of edges....one, two, 3  or all on a cube (with control of size; can select bevel) and the intersections are all changed in a couple seconds....even at the corners....smooth and very nice geometry.

Start at Google, ruby scripts or search using Google for ruby scripts or look here:  (there are many other web sites as well that simply support SU and ruby scripts):
http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/author_details.php?id=39   (works in both SU6 and SU7)
look around the site

Install of scripts is as easy as unzip and place in program folder "plugins" and start SU....use the item via menu.
