Charlyboy, welcome.
The first link you provided, that is a simple profile and extrusion.
The other two... have you tried this ruby script?

Message for Eric Lay,
Oops! Sorry about that. I didn't know that you had modelled it for FF. Just as well my model is so inaccurate.
Kind regards,
Bob -
It's not about that - why should/could one not model something that already exists - unless it's a copy or something...
Just "provided" another example. Surely even if Charlyboy subscribed and downloaded the component, he could not (would not allowed to - according to the EULA of FF) include it into another collection let it be commercial or free. Thus your help is more valuable for him I presume... -
Dear Gaieus,
In consideration of Eric's model on FF, do you think my skippy should be removed from the forum? If so, then please do so. What is the etiquette in such cases?
Regards,
Bob -
No need to remove it, especially if charlyboy isnt subscribed to formfonts.

Bob,
Just because Eric has once modelled such a thing, he (or FF) does not have exclusive rights. Imagine that after some years FF will have modelled almost every furniture and people are not allowed to use SU unless they subscribe to FF. This would be crazy.
You obviously did not make your model using the FF model (did not even know about it) so I don't think FF would ever have the right to claim copyright over it.
I only mentioned that I had seen such a model. But if you are uncertain, please, PM to Eric or Alan Fraser and I'm sure they will reassure you about your concerns.

Dear Gaieus,
Good Morning, and Happy Easter!
Thanks for the fast response. It isn't a good model, but I didn't want to upset anyone. I use Sketchup for fun, and for designing mechanical bits and pieces at work, and so my income does not depend on my modelling skills (thank God!).
Well, my wife keeps calling me, and telling me to "Get off the computer!!!". I keep telling her that "it's a man thing". We are off to London to visit a few museums and then on to the Masala Zone for an authentic India meal.
Regards,
Bob -

Very Good job to find the chair!!!I see the component but only on jpeg..does it exist in sketchup file? I have to log in on the website to take it??
Remus=>It's perfect!!I took it and I will work on it..
Thanks a lot guys for advices and links you saved my life^^ -
Formfonts is a subscription based service, so you pay a few hindered dollars and you can download as many models as you like. Quite an expensive way of doing it if you only need a few items though.
-
Also you are not supposed to "re-share" FF models so if you are building a public (commercial or free) collection, don't include it.
