      Hello, I am working on a 3D vehcile model, and I am trying to get the base of the model to work with the windows.
      My skp you can play around with it πŸ™‚
      Since the windows are flat, I noticed while putting them in "place", the curvature of my front edging is pretty ugly due to projection.
      Another viewpoint for clarification
      I don't currently know of a working plugin for sketchup 8 (wont change version btw πŸ˜‰ ), that can project the window curve well or even so, how do you think I can fix this to make it work?

      The issue area

      πŸŽ‰ HAPPY 4TH!

          Hi there,
          throughout the forum, I am not aware much about car modeling so perhaps there is the reason for not making a lot of support here.
          I think you are using tools which will you get not far when car modeling is what you are after for.
          Here are some YT vids on that subject:

          Artisan plugin or SubD plugin is, in my opinion, the best tools for this kind of modeling.
          You will need a few more but if you watch the video you will see additional plugins he uses.

          Here is his 3dwarehouse collection:
          https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/user/0488996125999113573121108/ixlrlxi

          This is Patreon page he has so maybe here you could get some more info on how to model a car:

          Here is his Artstation page:
          https://www.artstation.com/ixlrlxi

          And last I think is Deviantart page:
          https://www.deviantart.com/600v/gallery/

          Here also is Chipp Walters tutorial series on using Artisan for Lightcycle:

          Hope this helps.

            I think we use many different methods for what we make and I do not have experience of your method from what I see here.

            Trial and error to mix and match aspects of different methods may work.
