      Hi All,

      I'm very new to Sketchup, have pretty much just got it because i've become obsessed with building a particular balustrade coffee table.

      It turns out the exact one I want to build was already in the 3D warehouse, the restoration hardware coffee table
      https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=89c612dbac1ecfbe96a3517f50eeb9f4

      I need to send the appropriate measurements to a woodturner to make the legs on a lathe. Just wondering what the best way to do so would be? i.e. how to I communicate to him the appropriate taper etc. I've watched a bunch of tutorials but so far haven't found the exact information I need.

      i'm ok with communicating the main "straight" lengths but it's the curves that i'm unsure about.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am even willing to buy the full program or download whatever plugin necessary to do this.

      Cheers,
      Bren
