Thanks Guite! Yours is a most excellent component. Did you jump on the real one before you sent it back?

Regards, Ross

Guite, would it be possible for you to post a tutorial showing the steps, tools and methods you used to create that amazing model?
Please?

Ross, I dare not. I can't risk jumping on any surface.

Gidon, I am flattered. Sorry to disappoint you but I don't remember all the steps I did to model the sofa, it was done one year back. What I do remember is that the armrest folds took the most effort.

Anyway, I took measurements of the sofa, even the curves, and drew it in CAD first. I used CAD first because it offers better control of the curves using 'polyline' and 'fillet with radius'. In SketchUP, I use 'follow me', 'push pull' etc. as much as possible but oftentimes had to resort to stitching. During that time I also tried a ruby script to generate a 3d curved surface without success.

Nothing extraordinary in my process. It was done more as a hobby so I took my time.

Regards,
Guite
