So yer a builder, get tired of using a cylinder for a curved corner and having the cylinder dims not be the same i.e X2 meters y 5 meters, you then cut that for a curved corner and wind up with adjacent walls that are of different thicknesses becuase hollow is an absolute percentage.
how about check boxes:
Set Hollow (Yes), (No)
if yes is checked then:
Set Wall Thickness [00.000]

That way no matter what the size ratios you set, if you build with .20 thickness wall on a box, they will match the rounded corners you want if you set to hollow with wall thickness of .20.


make sense? Yes? No? I'm talking out my prim?

TELL THE LINDENS your thoughts on this! Not me, the only power I have is creative thought, they control the code!

You cant set the hollow size with any more precision than the percentages ATM.
You can find the size simply by finding the radius. Divide X or Y scale by 2, multiply by the percentage. Voila!
