      (Sorry for my English ; ))

      Hi,

      I'm really a newbie in Sketchup and I'm trying to make a "Sharp GP2D120" in 3D (with the real dimensions). (My purpose is to do a "sketch" of a real robot).
      It has been already made but I'd like to do it by myself (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=266adab594bd3d2bd7053d86bc3efcb6&ct=mdrm&prevstart=12).

      My problem is : "How to realize the shape next to the hole" ?

      http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/download?mid=266adab594bd3d2bd7053d86bc3efcb6&rtyp=lt&ctyp=other&ts=1202485669000

      It's "triangular" but also rounded.

      I suppose I have to use the "Follow Me" tool but I can't find the way to do this shape.

      Thanks in advance ; ).

        Here's one way...

        Real life is just another website, albeit a rather boring one.

          Thank you ; ).

          I tried to use the "Push-pull" tool to do this and I didn't think to use the "Move" tool.
          It's working now : ).
