      I want to add a series of arrows depicting the access path on a construction site. Can I create custom brushes to do this? Is it possible to type text along a curved path?

      Thank you

        Hm. There are no "brushes" in SU but there is component stringer:

        and there is shape bender:

        If you post your actual model, I am sure that many will jump in to tease you.

          Hi Gaieus,

          Thanks for your reply and suggestions. It is not exactly what I am looking for. I want to overlay an access path as arrows in layout over my imported sketchup plan- something like this [url][URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/samplearrows.png/]
          http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/6498/samplearrows.png
          [/url]

          Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/url]

          Any ideas?

          Thanks

            Sorry, I am too tired and did not even realize that we are in the LayOut forum.

            You can import any png file or create your shapes in LO and distribute them according to your image (you can even add them to your custom scrapbooks) but you will need to rotate them individually in LO to follow that path.

              No problem. I will use the standard dashes and arrow stroke settings.

              Cheers
