Curviloft for one.

Move tool can do it ,but not very accurate.
Curviloft is better.
The line tool is ok too

Move tool+cmd (on Mac)

Ferrari can do it too

Edson

thanks, guys. curviloft did the trick. I tried with the move tool but it did not work well as the circle had only 12 segments.

charly, I have never heard of the ferrari plugin! where can I find it?

Hi Edson, hi folks.

Maybe you want to do it with native tools (always a good way to learn, especially for newbies).

See this SU file for ideas.

Square to round transition.skp

hi jean,

I am having trouble opening your file: it goes on forever generating scene thumbnails. could you possibly disable the scene generating feature, save it and post it again?

irwanwr

it opened and works fine for me

Hi Edson, hi folks.

My file is a very simple normal skpfile with 8 scenes.

Maybe you have a plugin that is causing trouble.

Just ideas

Edson

in one of those weird coincidences that would make Jung happy Aidan Chopra has just posted an article on Curviloft at the Official Google Sketchup Blog and the first example is exactly the question I posted here.

yes, I have. it is very odd because it is the only file that I am having problems with.

same problem: it goes on forever generating scene thumbnails. could you possibly disable this feature and save it again? to do that just go to the scenes dialogue box, select all scenes, right-click and uncheck Use Sene Thumbnails. thanks.
