Curved Walls
-
Look for Earthmover's Garden Wing wall tutorial a page or two down in the tuts section. I could look it up and post the link for you but... It's good.
There should be a permanent sticky(?) on how to do curved walls, ramps etc. in this Newbie section. Isn't that one of the most FAQ's. Heck, a "curved wall tool" should be added to Sketchup along with a "circular stair tool."

/quotealmost perfect, i need the transition where the dip starts to be smooth, an arc not an angle see the attached drawing where i drew an arc on your wall you did on one side, if i could make that transition smooth, that would would great
kind of like the wall is smoothly undulating up and down

well i've been trying to do this with no scripts, and it can easily be done, but alas i ran out of patience.
so i use ToolsOnSurface to draw the arcs, then i used extrudelinetool to stretch it out ,using the top edge that you where trying to get rid of as a guide. then of course you took it from there, selecting everything, doing a intersect model and deleting the junk you don't want.

my toolsonsurface tool palatte does not have an arc tool, how are you drawing the arc on the curved surface and I am assuming extrudelinetool is a ruby I can download? -

toolsonsurface ver1.31
the tool is circled in red.extrudelinetool extrudelinetool.rb i don't know if i'm supposed to attach this, but it was free and i can't find where i got it from so...
PS, i would highly recommend you don't use SU without this http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=6708&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=extrude

All that can be made with only intersections of cylinders & tubes!

my tool on surface tool bar is not the same as yours?

thats weird your jointpushpull tools aren't the same either?
are you sure you have the latest versions?
PS, did you notice you have like three sets of the same tools scattered all over the place?

I trolled the MoI forum the other day and noticed that Pilou is an ardent SketchUp evangelist over there. Regarding your question, it seems they've been in closed beta since September:

not sure what he means by it not being clean geometry, looks clean to me
it's just random.. nothing really matches up.. there's no system.

i used the absolute basics.... circle/arc tool and line tool.. it's a bit of a process and i might draw up a tut for a small section of it...
i'm pretty sure a ruby can be made to accomplish this (fingers crossed) and that encouraged me to draw the whole shape.. i'll post a [REQ] in the ruby forum soon..

what is moi??

"Moment of Inspiration" a Nurbs modeler who has same easy ergonomic than Sketchup
(export in SKP format with an object mesher "Nurbs to polygons" so you can control the mesh! (few or more polygons, repartition,..etc)
Both progs are complementary
So you have the more funny of the 2 worlds
Nurbs / Box Modeling with a zest of subdivision thx Whaat)
