How can I make a twisted window?
-
Hi guys! What
s up? Im new at the sketchup and at my work i need to make a twisted window, Does someone know how i can draw this? Or maybe Does it have a plugin that facilitates the modeling?I uploaded a photo to explain my problem

Hi Marco and welcome to SCF!
The file itself would be better. I cannot really see what's going on in that far end of the image...
-
option 1
build the window square... and true... then use Fredo's scaling tools to twist it.option 2
use curviloft to build one window and copy along the path. -
Kris, he says he is completely new to SU. We cannot bombard him with complex plugins on the first day - and also he should first learn how to do it with native tools!
-
ahh sorry... native tools... mmm that will be hard.

Hi Marco,
For presentation purposes attached file may explain how to do this with native SU.
To narrow down inaccuracy to ~0mm you may need to repeat the few steps on top geometry before smoothing edges.
Toggle 'Hidden Geometry' on/off in last scene to see which smooth edges I mean.So in short: make correct top selection > rotare and scale (rotate and scale) > final correcton at pole > smooth.

No prob, Kris (and he was not asking for native tools only) it's just the learning curve, you know.
Wodan; I really wonder how you could get any relevant info from that skewed image!

You can do it several other ways too

So, maybe i'm not so new in the sketchup...
Oh sorry i'm without the file, in monday i post here again. But let me make a question, how can i decrease the file size, cause it has 20mb =[
