      I tried drawing a cylinder the right size and then using Follow Me to put in the groove, but apparently I "cant extrude on a curved face."
      Stumped.

        Are you still using some pre-2013 version of SketchUp as yur profile indicates? Which version?

        If I were modeling a pulley I would use Follow Me with a cross section of the pulley and a circle for a path.

            I'm on Sketchup 2017. I've chosen not to upgrade past that because I have some plugins that I was told (actually, by you, I think) that they wouldn't work in newer versions. I'll try the cross section and follow me. Thanks.

              What plugins?
