Woodcuted flower SOS

ritrit

Hello!
I'm new in sketchup. I would like to draw handmade furnitures. I manage it a little bit but I have some problems with a woodcuted flower. De flower is on a curved surface and I dont have any idea how to draw this. Could you help me please. I attached a picture about my litle flower. Thanks a lot.

Try searching simon le bon, and look for I think the post was called Gothic Panels. It will give you a good start and let you know the best rubies for some of what you wish to do.

Thank you guys to remind this work!!++

Which is becoming a bit old, and a bunch of new ruby tools can probably help a lot to master this kind of job.

I think of:

A difficulty is the heavy work of cleaning unwanted geometry.

a tip: Grouped Erase
an extraordinary selecting tool: Selection Toys (2.0.0)(wich can make selection or unselection into a selection)
by the same man: Cleanup (1.1.2)

Difficulties to draw bended and sails shapes:

Shape Bender Beta v0.51
by the same man: Simple Loft alpha 0.1b
FredoScale 2.0h
extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb v1.8

*Difficulties with FollowMe operation:

Perpendicular Face Tools(it is very tedious to draw a perpendicular face at the end of a curve in order to start a FollowMe operation)
FollowMe and keep(When the curve path joins two levels, FollowMe tool makes the face rotating. This tool soluce this)
follow me rotate by the same man
RoundCorner 2.1c(1- not exactly a followMe tool but in the same family; 2- a considerable enhancement of Round Edge by the same man.

difficulty to assemble pieces (boolean operations):
BoolTools(commercial)
Boolean--OSCoolean Beta(free but buggy)

difficulty to draw on an organic face:
Tools On Surface - v1.5f

difficulty with construction points
