Help building a slide
-
Hi,
Wondering if anyone could help me, seems to be really simple what I'm trying to achieve.. but for some reason I just can't find a way to make it work
Basically I'm trying to create a slide, with the side panels angled outwards.. see my attachment, I can't seem to create a face from my lines
I tried the create face plugin but it just says 36 edges selected, 0 faces added
Any ideas how best to going about this?
Thanks

If it helps.. here's the side profile of the slide I'm trying to create:

Hi
I would recommend to work with the Follow Me tool here by drawing the desired profile and the path only.
An alternative would be to draw multiple profiles - if the shape should be different at different places of the slide - and use Fredo6's Curfi Loft tool then ...
(Below some dummy-examples and the dummy skp)Best

Hi Horn,
Thanks for the quick reply and the tip, but the problem I have with using the follow me tool..
The side panel is larger at the top, and gradually gets smaller towards the bottom of the slide, so if I'm to use follow me then the side panel would be same height all around
I've attached my sketchup file, didn't realise I could do that.. but that includes the side profile on a layer that I imported from a DWG
I refuse to believe that's not possible without additional plugins?!

... obviously not a simple geometry and a not yet clarified geometryI measured any angle of tilt of the balustrade (somewhere down) with about 14°.
If this inclination were 14° throughout, the slide would look like a broad funnel but a coplanar surface would be present at least. (please see files below)So I think that the tilt of the balustrade obviously varies and isn´t coplanar?(second pic. = only schematically)
Could you please integrate all existing DWGs into your model? Are there any other section drawings or better elevation plans available?
