: Sometimes the plugin leaves tiny "cracks" (missing faces) at complex intersections. You can often fix these manually by drawing a single line across the gap to force SketchUp to heal the surface. 2. The Native Path: No Plugins Required

Are you working on a or inside a isolated group/component ? sketchup round corner crack
For simple holes or a single missing face, the manual approach is often fastest.
If you are currently looking at a model riddled with broken corner geometry, do not panic. You can repair the damage using manual or automated methods. Method A: The Scale-Up Trick (The No-Plugin Solution)
Draw diagonals across the empty, cracked space to split the missing polygon into smaller triangles. SketchUp handles triangles much better than complex, non-planar quads. Launch SketchUp, navigate to Extensions > Fredo6 Collection
: If the edges being rounded are not perfectly aligned or if the faces are slightly "off-plane" (even by a thousandth of a foot), the tool may create fragmented, "cracked" surfaces instead of smooth ones.
The "crack" effect is the engine's failure. Instead of cleanly intersecting new, rounded faces with the existing flat ones, the algorithm produces microscopic gaps, "non-manifold" geometry, or overlapping faces that appear as visible cracks or tears in your model. Understanding why this happens is the first step to conquering it.
Instead of chasing a broken crack, here is the definitive path to a stable and powerful rounding workflow. If you share with third parties, their policies apply
No plugins needed.
Scale the group back down. This allows SketchUp to handle small faces without creating degenerate edges. 3. Use "Check Geometry" in the Plugin
Open the scaled-up component. Apply the RoundCorner tool. Because the geometry is massive, SketchUp can easily calculate the tiny radiused faces without creating cracks. Step 6: Close the component and delete the massive copy.
Approximately $15 for a perpetual license that covers three seats (devices).
Most "cracks" originate from the complex interaction between RoundCorner and SketchUp's geometry engine, which has inherent limitations with high precision and small-scale modeling. It's here that the scaling technique truly shines as a universal solution.
