Help with a drawing.
-
You guys did so good at answering my last question, I am going to ask another one.
These pictures are why I wanted to learn ScetchUp. I want to be able to build plans, or at least a picture of what I am building.
One picture is of a Jewelry box I built for my wife a couple years ago, and one I am now building for my niece. Please excuse my mess and poor photography.
The other one is of the ogee bracket feet that are going to be on the box.
I don't think the basic box will be much trouble to do, but the profile on the top and bottom, and the ogee feet are going to be a big problem, with my limited experience.
I did some searching on the net on how to draw curves, but didn't have much luck. I have made some progress on my own, but could use a few tips.
Thanks for the help!

The very quick and dirty answer is to use the "follow-me" tool. Draw a flat profile of your moulding shape. Select the edges of a "path" around which your "profile" needs to follow ( or if the path is all the way around an enclosed shape such as the top of the box, you can just select the top surface which by definitiion means you have selected all of the bounding edges as the path), click on the follow-me tool and then clck on the positioned profile face and it will travel around the "path". Badap-bing bada-boom. Done!
