      The first link is OK, Gai. The web administrators, I don't know why, shut off their web sites by night, and turn on then early in the morning. It's a provincial institution-Diputación Provincial in spanish- and they have this weird way of publishing their web sites.

        Yes, I can see now... "Reconstrucción Virtual > Próximamente". Is this what you are working on?

          No, I am a newbie, and cannot take that job by now. I am a teacher, we plan do educative software and documents related to the Olmeda Villa. My 3D model is may way to learn SU with a motivating subject. Perhaps in the future I will be able of making something worth of the Villa. 😉

              Ok, Gai, I'll take your word. ☀
              When I became profficient enough in SU to do the job, I'll call you. I have to work hard in SU. Then they have to let me take photographies and measurements of the Villa. I think there will be no problem, because I am in very good relations with the Villa's provincial managers.

                Thanks guys! Thanks for the tutorial and the tools!
                Just saved me with this huge arch for an addition, which matches a design done 10 years ago on the same building.

                BTW - I didn't read past the initial steps since I didn't have any issues, but if you are matching an opening - make the height of the flat column of brick equal to the length of outer arc of the assembly. Did that make sense?

                  Nice arch! 👍

                  Of course, now we have Whaat's SketchUV Plugin (with tube mapping) which save even more time and head-ache...

                  I guess it all depends where you grab that column (inner or outer side) with Fredoscale.

                    Is there a way to do this without the FredoScale plugin? I'm making a gothic arch like the one mentioned in the previous thread:

                    http://sketchucation.com/forums/download/file.php?id=37073&mode=view/rokbox.jpg

                    I assume this was modeled with the follow me tool, which is what I did do model it.

                      This wasn't made with FredoScale nor the Follow me tool.

                      I drew the outline, then offset to make the inner hole. Then another offset to create the line in the middle. After that I selected the edges of the inner hole and moved it inwards.

                      hm... this is probably better suited with screenshots....

                                ah - I use shortcuts of often I don't even notice it. That's my tool to inspect face and edge normals: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21472#p180592

                                  Thanks thomthom! But I'm still not sure how to use the arcs as a perpendicular path for the textures like you did.

                                    It's time to make some new tutorials based on newer plugins (or newer versions of plugins). I might put together something during the week-end.
