      Hoping for but not really expecting a solution to this STAT. Not being a solid object so to speak, is there any way or how do I pull up the centre of the circle so that the shape forms somewhat slightly more of a cone? Attached is the final result, but I need to make the lower ring just a little more of a cone rather than be that flat, it that makes any sense?

      I can easily do this with a solid object but scratching my head here for a workaround - please and thank you.

      And just in case anyone was wondering... all three apps used in this - SketchUp, Illustrator and Photoshop.

          Use Alt key with Move.

                major duh moment for me. gotten so use to using vertex tools forgot the simple way.

                sdmitch curious why the alt key comes into play ? just checked on my mac, left to right selection and move tool gets me there..... is it a windows thing ?

                  The up or down arrow would achieve the same but the Alt key is what I thought of first.
