Once you have downloaded the extension file, follow these steps to install it into your SketchUp environment:
Creates smooth, radial transitions between intersecting faces.
| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | “Round Corner not showing” | Install LibFredo6 manually from Sketchucation | | Works only on some edges | Edges must be part of a solid group/component | | Slow on high-poly models | Reduce segment subdivisions in the tool settings | | “Not compatible with this SketchUp version” | Update to latest Round Corner version (v3.2+ supports SU2024) | Round Corner Extension Sketchup Free Download

| Tool | Developer | Price Model | Best For | Key Differences | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Sean Beatty | Free | Quick, simple fillets and chamfers | No complex modes; just two tools for basic round and bevel edges. Lightweight and easy to use. | | Bevel (Old Free Version) | -- | Free (Legacy) | Simple, classic bevels | A third option. An older plugin that just does one thing: creates simple bevels. | | Native SketchUp Tools | Trimble | Built-in (Free) | Learning fundamentals, simple geometry | Use "Follow Me" to manually create rounded edges. It's time-consuming but a great way to understand how fillets work. | | FredoCorner | Fredo6 | $30 (Perpetual) or $8 (21-day Rush) | Complex, advanced, organic modeling | More powerful than RoundCorner with a 15-day free trial. Handles subdivision and asymmetric offsets. |

While Round Corner historically offered a completely free download model, developer Fredo6 transitioned his primary plugins to a highly affordable premium licensing model to support ongoing development.
Creates a flat, angled chamfer on edges without adding curved topology.
Click the red button located at the bottom of the manager window.
For designers creating models for 3D printing, rounded edges are structurally beneficial. Sharp corners create stress points that can lead to cracking. Rounding edges with RoundCorner not only makes the product look ergonomic and modern but also distributes stress evenly, resulting in a stronger physical print.
