Subtrating From a Curved Object?
-
Here is my situation. I have a curved survace (wall) and am trying to push/pull arched windows into the curved surface (wall). I cant seem to make it work. Does Sketchup have a subtraction tool like Form-Z does, where I can model the shape of the window and then subtract it from the curved surface? Any other suggestions to get the end result that I am looking for?

Yes, sketchup does hav ea subtraction tool of sorts. If you create your window shape, move it into place , select the entire thing, right click on it and select 'intersect with model' After deleting the rest fo the window shape, your done.
