Recommendation Request! Technique for Compound Curves
-
I need to draw the specific cabinet/drawer pull/handle thingy (shown below). It's a svelte bit of cabinet hardware, with a contemporary ergonomic design. And that's the problem--the thing is all curves! Two mounting points are the onlyflat surfaces.
I'm requesting suggestions from those with experience creating/manipulating complex compound curved shapes in Sketchup to get me pointed in the right direction. For example, I used the "box tapering" tool from FredoScale to distort some primitives, and that got me pretty close. But the plugin that I think I need allows one to extrude and distort dimensionally, or perhaps extrapolates from 2D perspectives, etc etc...
I checked 3D Warehouse, btw... thus my need to draw it myself.

Do you have any other pictures of it? Any larger images? Dimensions?
I'd probably use Curviloft or TIG's Extrusion Extension to create the shape. I'd set out the curves at normal size, make a component of it and then develop the surfaces on a scaled up copy.
You could actually get away with using Follow Me on it, too.
