        I expect you'd find it works much better if you use smoother curves, avoid the sharp points and use a higher number for generating the surface.

        I was just playing around and got this. It still needs a bit of fine tuning.

          Hello Dave
          Thank you for the Help.
          I understand what you mean.

          I use illustrator to draw the shapes and export to Sketchup.
          do you know a plugin that generates line shapes to bezier curves?....they work better
          or to generate smoother curves?

          regards

            They do work better. I used the Bezier tool from Fredo's Bezier Spline which is available here in the Sketchucation Extension Store.
