      Hi I found a shorthand drawing from ages ago it is basically the facade of an old building being peeled back to reveal a new building. I hope you can read the sketch. How could I create this in sketchup?

      Thanks

            Managed to get the shape with native SU. I am not very experienced with plugins though. Could anybody suggest a plugin to give that "Peeled back" facade some thickness? I am thinking joint push pull, does anydody have another suggestion or advice if they think I can give thickness to that collection of poligons that make up the surface?

              Radial Bend, Part of Fredoscale, will bend anything at any angle you want.

                      I was just looking at this thread on my phone and found that there is an image in the original post. For some reason the image doesn't appear on either of my PC's using firefox.
                      I see this.

                      Which means my 'hilarious' blank solution was not at all funny.
                      Sorry about that.

                                  Don't forget CurviLoft as a way to have a bit more control over the final form

                                          Hi Box, could you please let me know how you achieved the oblique angle with the protractor gizmo? I downloaded the app and it is pretty good, however I am unable do anything other than aligning with anything other than the primary axes.

                                            You left click, hold and drag on the first point and when your release left button on second point you lock rotational plane.
