    Newbie here. Been playing with Sketchup for a day or two now, and slowly starting to get the hang of it.

    Have a small issue that I can't seem to 'figure out' (as if my subject line wasn't confusing enough. So I've attached a few images to give you an idea.

    Basically I have the two surfaces (the circle and the rectangle with rounded corners below.
    I'm trying to create a arc surface that follows the edge of both those surfaces.

    These first two images show the two surfaces, and the one arc that I would like to create:

    And these two images show what happens after follow me. You can see they end up following the circle surface:

    http://www.ditchmond.com/images/misc/bcurve_02.jpg

    This causes a issue with the overhang. I've tried picking both surfaces and running follow me, but it ends up using circle and causes that overhang.

    Any idea?

      followme isn't a 2 rail sweep tool.. it can only have one profile follow along a single rail..

      you might want to look into a plugin such as CurviLoft to do this..
