Pilou, how's development going over at Moi, is there a public beta for ver.2 yet?
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:

it's just random.. nothing really matches up.. there's no system.

[attachment=1:1wl1qjcn]<!-- ia1 -->cleaner.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:1wl1qjcn]that looks perfect!!!! which tools did you use for that, it looks great!

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) -

About Moi
Yep there is yet a version 2.0 beta of the 19 January 2009
And yes these 2 progs Su + Moi are crazy and have the same easy use!
-
here's a tutorial on how i did it... [use the scene tabs at the top to switch between steps]
and yeah, pilou has the right idea about taking the mesh outside of sketchup in order to bend it.. i do think a ruby would be possible for this type of model..

No you can't easy bend it in a nurbs modeler! (in the new generations after many years of brain storming yes but it's like a perversion
Don't yet exist in Moi
Bend is a typical function of a "polymodeler"!
Here it's just one curve Extrude then Shell and trim by an inclined line -

ha, glad you liked it..
fwiw - that's still not quite right.. the curve at the top of the wall should be closer to vertical which would require making a custom arc for the base of the wall (the segments should get closer together horizontally as the wall gets taller.. i've done it the correct way a few times and it takes twice as long but this tut should be a good starting point.
