      Hi, I am new to google sketchup, and thank you for being here to help me. I was working through the tutorial, and when I got to the arc request, I got an angle generated from my efforts instead of an arc. Is there something I have to preset?

      Thanks,
      akurat

        Hi Akurat (Matt),

        What tutorial were you following exactly?
        And could you attach an image or the skp file of what you achieved?

        Gai...

          Hello again,
          I looked at a post by gully about the arc tool, and took his advice, and I am generating arcs now!
          Thank you,
          from akurat

            Hi folks.

            If you specify 2 sides for the arc, you will indeed get an angle.

            This can be used as a trick to get a real fast 90° angle if you use the "Half circle" inference. Then, each side of the angle is at 45° from the axis of the angle. This is a qucik way of drawing roofs with a 45° slope. Add a base line to the arc to get a triangle and push it with the "Push/Pull" Tool. However, the apex will be smoothed and thus, will require unsmoothing.

            Just ideas.
