How do I model skate parks - bowls - pools?

I think CurviLoft will be a useful tool for this: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=28586

ummmm...

I swear I responded to this earlier. anyway.
You'll want to turn on sandbox tools and try them out.
curviloft as Thom said. and perhaps Artisan.
there's also this. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=19457&start=45#p195465

curviloft and/or extrude edges by rails. no artisan. a good pool need accuracy.
you make me want to go out and ride those pools instead of being in front of a pc

do you know the plugins he is using to model this tutorial?
looks so easy oO -
With Bezier Spline and CurviLoft
All by Fredo 6
you can make every thing!
he uses them intensivelyPS And natural tools of Sketchup of course
You have alos Skin and Bubbles & Ferrari but Curviloft is the best for this sport!

by the way, how he can draw the arc by clicing the 3 points of the two segments?

Peter, it's great that you want to use SketchUp to design skate parks but make sure you aren't trying to run before you've learned to walk. Learn the basics of SketchUp before you get too tangled up in all these plugins. You need those basic skills.

I think i Know the basics... i did good projects on sketch, but i am not understanding these plugins..
-
now it is working, i understood the curviloft and extrusion by lathe ... but i really dont know and that would be very very usefull to model my projects, how did the guy made that semi-circle by clicing 3 times in the end points of the 2 segments? is that a plugin or a simple command of sketchup?
-
Ah I understand!
(but when you speak about something inside a video, please give Minutes, second ! It's Arcs tool by Didier Bur
2 methods for draw an arc-circle
By 3 points
or
by Center and 2 points
Dialog box "Precision" will be the number of segments of the arcs!Plug will be in Menu Draw!
He use the Center and 2 points because he draw first 2 edges perpendicular equal
and must have the plug in short cut -
These are some involved plugins. I'm with you there. I think you may find some help in the curviloft thread itself. Some of these deserve at least a weekend class if not a book.
If you have a specific question like that, Peter. Link to the exact video and give the minute it occurs.
For example could the technique you saw be like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2pgjs3ao9U&feature=plcp
at 1:20 min.?

Now its ok.. working fine =D tnx so much all of you (;
