      Dear members

      I'm a new user of Sketchup and still a beginner.
      I m trying to draw a 'car canopy' in different shapes, but I can't get what I want..
      I want to draw it in a curve way as in seen the picture I've attcahed.

      If anyone can help me with this please πŸ˜„

      Thanks and best regards
      Eng.Salam

        I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.

          As I understand you, you want a 'tent-like' canopy that changes from a square at its bottom to a circle at its top.
          This is arduous to achieve with the native tools.
          Try My Extrude Tools' 'EEbyRails or Fredo's CurviLoft tools.
          Get it/them and/or more info from the SCF PluginStore...
          With these you can make the 'mesh' surface following the vertical curve and transforming from the square to the circle.
          I have attached an image/skp of how I quickly made something similar...

            The beginner way, no plugin, little work:


            Draw some faces for reference


            Draw arcs on those faces


            Delete every thing but arcs, draw faces between arcs


            Soft and smooth, make component


            Rotate copy the component


            Copy the four components, paste in place, flip along red axis


            Explode, smooth and soft
