        Someone help me out here, I can't remember the names; there are at least two plugins that create various spirals, one was a metalworking spiral and another simply created shapes. Either one combined with curviloft or extrude edges by X would get that nice snail shell-like roof.

          Would one of those be Drawmetal? Or at least from drawmetal.com?

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            What about the Revolve tool in 1001bits?

            Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

              Simple idea β˜€
              I have "unstick" the pinky curves for more simplicity, but the idea is to take 2 spiral curves as you want as rails πŸ˜‰
              The blue curve can have any form !
              You can take a second blue curve for the last Click (and obtain a "tickness" )

              You can give thickness by Joint Push Pull by Fredo 6 in the case of my drawing image

              Extrude Edges by Rail by TIG
              or CurviLoft by Fredo 6 (some differents blue curves along the rails! )

              mirrored by rapport of your volute drawing 😳

                        As for creating spirals,this one might also come in handy: http://www.armanisoft.ch/webdesign/spiralizer/Spiralizer.html
