      Is there an "arc guide" plugin, like the "circle tool" or "arc tool"?

      Thanks

      😄

        Fredo's Curvizard tools include one that will convert edges to guides.

          I saw the curvizard tutorial video, that is a great plugin, but it doesn´t do what I want. The curved lines when are transformed in guide lines, continue been with the same properties like the lines of the origin, with segmented guide lines, and not been into a perfect curved line (or a perfect circle).

          Thanks!

            There are no "perfect" circles or arcs in SketchUp. They are always represented by line segments. You can increase the number of segments to make curves look smoother but there will always be line segments.

              I know that, but nevertheless I still thought that there might be a plugin to solve it! I have to conect three lines with specific dimensions, and this should be done through the exact intersection of circles (with rays to the size range of the lines). This is the way I will get to build the walls that are misaligned.

              Thank you

                you could do it with dynamic components..

                select then Window-> Component Options

                there's no error checking in there but if the thing doesn't make a triangle then the entered numbers aren't valid.

                  Awesome! This is exactly what I want, Mr. Hammond! Tahnk you! The question now is how to customize the components attributes, because once I´ve tried to learn it but could not understand how it works! 😞
                  This is really complicated for me! 😞

                  Thank you!
