Arcs
-
I just began work at a new job and the second i begin using sketchup i notice a problem, sketchup wont make arcs, it breaks them down into a line split at the center of where the arc should be, maybe im missing something here but any suggestions?
-
A bit more info would be useful (pic?), but by the sounds of it it's just normal SU behaviour.
Su is a polgon modeller, so everything in it is just composed of lots of lines with faces in between them. This means that arcs, circles and curvy stuff in general is actually made up of lots of small lines very close together, to give the impression of an arc/curvy surface.

problem solved
the number of sides when making an arc was set at 2 instead of 24 -
Yeah, that would mess it up
-
And you set the default number of sides for an Arc... where?

Click the Arc's icon
Enter on the numeric keyboard the wished number (48 for example)+ Enter
Draw your arc
You will have a cool smoothed arc
number entered is written on the little window right bottom corner screen!
