TIPS NEEDED FOR ORGANIC MODELING IN SU
-
I am doing a project where I am going to make a ferro cement canopy that will tie three small building together. It will be a rebar mat that undulates and curves, and I want to ask you all what your favorite way to do shaping like this in sketchp. I have used 'from contours' before, also have the 'subdivide and smooth' plug in. Is there some thing out there that would make a 4" thick rectangle moldable into a wavy shape, even aside from these two tools? Would appreciate any insight..thanks, Keea

Not sure about the wavy rectangle but I find, for canopies, the soap bubble plugin works better than Contours. It's perfect for tensile structures.

TIGs extrude series of plugins would also work for you in all likelihood - simple example:-
