Ribbon Shape Wrapping a Base

[AshleyA]

Hello, I'm trying to make this ribbon like shape wrap this base, but some of the details at the folds look a little wonky... any recommendations on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

How are you going to use this model when it is complete? How large is it? Will those corners really be seen? Maybe simply softening the edges where the flats meet the radius would be enough. Maybe hiding the edges on that component altogether would do it. Simple and quick and without creating a lot of file bloat.

What version of SketchUp are you using? That would tell us what tools you are using and have available.

@Dave-R The model is 5'-7" tall 2'-10" wide and 8" deep... I'm using Sketchup 2023. I plan on bringing it into Keyshot when I'm finished with getting the model right. But if there is a way to soften those connections in sketchup, I'd love to learn how. If not, I guess I can bring it into photoshop to save time... I just didn't like how wonky the details looked.

Thanks again!

Try my suggestions of softening and hiding the edges. You could also consider radiused edges instead of the hard square edges you have.
