Curved Model

[melisej]

Hi everyone! My name is Megan and I'm a first year Architecture student.

I am new to Google SketchUp and have to model this (attached image) and I don't know where to start!

If it helps, it's just an A4 piece of paper with slits cut across the short side all the way down and then the whole piece of paper is just twisted on itself.

Any tips?

Thanks!

I think you'll struggle with that type of shape.

Rhino with Grasshopper is more suited for this type of construction.

Or more subtil and speedy
I believe that exist a Ligh design like your first stage of Paper Timed!

Load it and use the Crazzy Fredo Scale!

Else
Some idea with the Fredo Scale
Twist Bend and then repeat with some parts...etc...
