Wondering if anyone could help out with this Light in Sketchup??
-
Hi there guys, I have to try and replicate this light fitting, I just cannot get my head around creating the shape - could anyone point me in the right direction as it's doing my head in!! Please see plan and elevation of light and the shape in sketchup - I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance, Nick

I would do it this way.

-
Cheers mate much appreciated but the 'curve' goes the whole way round, so the other elevation would have the same curve so to speak... Nightmare! But thanks so much for taking the time to reply!! Cheers,

Hey nick can you make a dome in the elevation and do the same thing instead of just a curve pretty sure that would work with tha same technique
-
Here you go, Make a dome with the follow me tool

-
Awesome thank you for the help!
-
All good mate were you successful?
-
Unfortunately not, could get the disk section done okay but the kicked out edge just wouldn't work for me! Have photoshopped in place for now which sucks but hey, it's got me through the first round

-
Would you like me to model it for you?
-
All good mate, thanks so much for the offer, I have just used a simple dome without the kicked out edge section using follow me as you suggested. Thanks again for your help! Cheers, Nick
