Smooth/arched window reveal frustration
-
Hi. I'm relatively new to Sketchup and am using it currently to put together some layouts for a church. I am having trouble in making the arched (and splayed) window reveals smooth. As you can see from the picture I've attached I've had to join them up using a series of separate lines which doesn’t look very good.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks

You're almost there. Get the Eraser tool and hold Ctrl (Option on Mac) and run the tool over those lines you used to stitch the faces in. Or select the edges with a selection box, right click and choose Soften/Smooth from the context menu. Then correct the face orientation. In the image anyway they look blue as if they are reversed. If you turn off endpoints under Window>Styles>Edit, that will help, too.

Also, depending on the parameters for the arch, the window might have been done by push-pulling a straight arch through the wall, then scaling the edges of the arch on one side. It would then look like Dave's model automatically(no stitching).
