i'm relatively new to sketchucation and sketchup itself...and have seen some of the other car models of yours...they look really good...

Arc Tool, i think thats what he means...
Try youtube for some good tutorials.

you also might want to try the PM button or send an email. i would not recoment sketchup for making cars. i would try AutoCAD or another kind of car making program. (i plan i getting Unigraphics car design or something like that (the program that made the S7(i think)))
Also If you have Yahoo internet I would recomend answers (it only works if you have yahoo but it is a very good source) Or wiki answers.

Hope this helps

Also sorry about making this Off-Topic >_<

Hello bahjon12, welcome to SCF and thanks for the comments.

The tool you are reffering to is the arc tool. You can also use the circle tool aswell.
When selecting the tool and typing a number and pressing Enter/Return you can change the amount of sides you will have in your arc or circle. You can also turn the arc or circle into editable edges but exploding it.
Both the arc and circle tools can be found on the getting started toolbar in SketchUp

I suggest you take a futher look at the Tutorials and browse the 3DWarehouse and YouTube for other helpful stuff:
