      I made a Dome here:

      http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p4/aaron0000123/1ah.jpg

      I want to know how to make walls on the outside around the frame much like the capital building. I don't know what I'm going to build yet... Any suggestions?. Also, I'm new so you'll probably have to explain it more. πŸ˜„ I love Sketchup yaaaaay .... I'm such a noob 🀣


      This is my dome

        Hi Aaron,

        You will need to use the follow me tool (scroll don to the bottom where a cone is made similarly) to model a dome.

        Also see attached file for ideas (open it and lick on the scene tabs).


        Ah yes, and welome. I used to suffer with my first domes until I found out how easy it is to make one with a couple of clicks πŸ˜‰

        You can also turn on hidden geometry (view menu) to se how your new ome is constructed. You could have, of course, hand stitch your "wireframe" dome from endpoint to endpoint to achieve it and then soften all the lines. Sometime (with lesst regular geometry) that is actually the way we do it.
