    Louis,

    Why should you apologise for posting a newbie question in the Newbie Forum? That's what we have created it for; to "welcome" new users and to encourage them to post questions or even ideas that we can all learn from!

    So welcome!
    πŸ˜„


    Edit: just two comments for Mike's excellent tutorial:

    1. Make the ellipse by drawing a circle first and then scaling it in one direction
    2. use the offset tool to create the thickness of the tub which you can Push/Pull up as in the tutorial.

    Gai...

      No problem Louis, you are welcome. And Gai is right about
      what he says. I should have included some text / explanations
      but again I imagine there is no harm in you doing a bit of
      figuring out πŸ˜‰

      That's the fun of SketchUp, finding lots of ways to be
      things.

      Mike

        I played with turning that tub on it's side and trying to triangulate that front bottom area a little further using the "add details" from the sandbox tools and then pre selecting an area and using the "smoove" tool to sqash in the bit that looks pinched in in the photo. Wasn't very successful. You guys have any ideas?

          Susan, I guess that's just some kind of reflection there. Or maybe the plumber was drunk when fitting it in and kicked the side?

            Mike,

            I followed your tutorial, but I having problems creating the top edge, rim of the bath, can you shed any light?

            Thanks

              Hi,

              What mike did is once he gets to scene 7 where he has created the top bath profile, he used push pull to get what is scene 8.
              The next step you need to select the whole model, right click and Intersect with Model. Once you have done this you can start to carefully delete (erase) the top to leave yourself with the correct profile.

                Hi Japes,

                Dylan has covered the process.

                'Intersect with Model' is a very useful tool.
                If you are not familiar with it I suggest
                that you play around with it using different
                size boxes, cylinders etc.

                Mike

                  Thanks Dylan & Mike,

                  I did use intersect with model to create the profile and I did delete the parts I no longer needed, but this leaves me with an open edge/rim between the bath inner and outer, I'm having trouble filling this in, hope that makes sense, shout at me if not!

                    Japes .... well done so far. Yes, you are right it is
                    a little tricky filling in the rim surface of the tub.

                    When I was doing it I turned on 'Hidden Lines' so I could
                    locate where to start / finish lines. I think I also had
                    to draw over all lines to form triangles!

                    I'm now wondering if there is a better way to do this
                    as it would have been nice to have left the rim surface
                    in place after removing!

                    I'll have look at it and get back to you.

                    Mike

                    PS: Just dawned on me! If the cutting object was exploded
                    then delete as required it would be possible to leave the
                    tub rim surface in tact ?

                    PPS: I've tried what I suggested and it give a much cleaner
                    end result. When I come the think about it one on the guys
                    above mentioned this already, Dylan I think. Anyway, all is
                    well that ends well! I'm attaching a quickie skp showing what
                    I did.

                      Thanks Mike,
