            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.

                                            A couple of months but as usual it's very difficult to say!
                                            Depending of development of the System of objects and the time to write documentation!
                                            And test of the next beta for killing bugs πŸ˜‰
