                  I trolled the MoI forum the other day and noticed that Pilou is an ardent SketchUp evangelist over there. Regarding your question, it seems they've been in closed beta since September:

                          i used the absolute basics.... circle/arc tool and line tool.. it's a bit of a process and i might draw up a tut for a small section of it...

                          i'm pretty sure a ruby can be made to accomplish this (fingers crossed) and that encouraged me to draw the whole shape.. i'll post a [REQ] in the ruby forum soon..

                                  here's a tutorial on how i did it... [use the scene tabs at the top to switch between steps]

                                  and yeah, pilou has the right idea about taking the mesh outside of sketchup in order to bend it.. i do think a ruby would be possible for this type of model..

                                    No you can't easy bend it in a nurbs modeler! (in the new generations after many years of brain storming yes but it's like a perversion πŸ˜„
                                    Don't yet exist in Moi πŸ˜’
                                    Bend is a typical function of a "polymodeler"! πŸ˜‰
                                    Here it's just one curve Extrude then Shell and trim by an inclined line πŸ˜„

                                        ha, glad you liked it..

                                        fwiw - that's still not quite right.. the curve at the top of the wall should be closer to vertical which would require making a custom arc for the base of the wall (the segments should get closer together horizontally as the wall gets taller.. i've done it the correct way a few times and it takes twice as long but this tut should be a good starting point.
