Soften Edges issues

SketchUp
1

Something strange. I have an edge that has an angle between normal of 15 degrees.

Still, it is not softened with a specification of 32 degrees.

Has anyone encountered such misbehavior?

Hi Fredo,

I imported the skp model into Blender and in Mesh Edit Mode I activated Edge Angle with all the geometry selected. The angle for that edge is 35.489°. For the other adjacent vertical edges it is below 30.

I think it has to do with the transformation of the group. If you reset the transformation or add an instance with identity transformation, the misbehaving edge is at a sharper corner than its neighbors.

The instance to the right has an indentity transform (despite the weird shape).

Set Origin to Geometry.
Rotating the geometry by -102° and the ‘angles’ drop below 30°, except for the corners.

Thanks. This is the explanation.
