Hi Simon,

this is a really good tutorial. I see that I still have to learn a lot.

It's curious: at any moment you have used Line2Tubes by Didier Bur?
Tubes here

If you take precision = 4 you have square section so rectangular boxes in length !

Hi Pilou,
Good to see else tries than mine (We often find you kindly at the "rendez-vous" )

You are right and not.
Line2Tubes from Didier or PipeAlongPath from TIG can be used in any case for a low poly previsu and in some cases when we want centered variations of polygones (triangle; squares; polygones; circles) . You are right I have forgotten to use them.
But I think the more often we are going to want a special shape with a special center in order to answer to two aspects: mechanical (the roof must sustain the overall weight) and esthetical too.

Thank u very much for the tutorial.

Yes, thanks for the tutorial (and a nice implicit how-to on making them effective, graphically and 'instructionally') and more importantly a fine example of how to model, how to think, analytically, reductively, as seems necessary to get at the essential geometry of the model object.

Hi Carrozza, Chang and Brooke,

Sorry for delay!
I'm honored by your comments

Dear Brooke, you give me one of the kindest comments I ever get
Do we have to recognize in it an implicit underneath message addressed to the community: a wish for a kind of tutorials ?

IMO "tutorials section" is a bit to much deserted by the best SketchUP users which have to learn us the more. Take a look to it, new entries are not so frequent. A good tutorial emulate a desire to play, to learn and to progress.. and to play and fight together to find the better ways

My expertise being a fantasy, my participatory history here being brief and my selfish gluttony being what it is, I have to agree that I want more, and of superior quality! Your spirit and love for this stuff wraps you well and we are pleased, and enjoy, and benefit.

Not to let the syrup clog the gears, but I learned as well from your little ray gun explication.

Cheers.
