Draw curved line so difficult in SU

[bigeye2012]

hi, it is so difficult to draw some curved lines in SU.
in Photoshop , it is very easy to make irregular curved lines.

i wonder, is there any plugin to make irregular curved lines easily?

It looks like you tried to draw each "tooth" individually. A Better approach would be to draw one tooth, then use the Rotate Tool ( **)**to copy it and make a radial array.

You mean the Rotate tool...

Like I said - the Rotate Tool. (original reply edited.)

It's not too hard in sketchup. There's a few plug-ins like bezier curves. I did the following:

Created an 11 point polygon
Created a tooth component that joined two of the polygon points (so each tooth would match exactly using the polygon sides for correct orientation)
rotated (with copy x10) the tooth from one point of the polygon to the next using the centre of the polygon as the axis
exploded the components and used the weld plug-in to make it a single polyline

and it's regular, and you only need to edit one tooth to get the whole thing perfect
