I've followed the steps to correct the Square and achieved the same result as you! I really appreciate your advice on approaching and solving the problem. I'm going to try with the Oval at a later date.
I'm quickly learning that for smaller sized objects to design them on a much larger scale first and scale them own to meet the need. For whatever reason, I'm reading a lot of things about how sketchup doesn't deal with things on the small scale as effectively.
Thanks cotty!
I'm getting ready to 3D print 2 things I've designed and I'm struggling with making the whole thing a Solid Object. I've used symmetrical designs and the "Curviloft" plugin to help generate curved faces on my faces, but for some reason its considering the curves along the selected paths to be holes in my object in some cases.
I'm struggling to figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong (since I'm sure it's me). I've made great use of the Solid Inspector tools to help me clean up a few things, but I'm stuck now. I've attached both of my simple models below.
06 - Red_Square - Curves 3D PRINT.skp
HUZZAH! Thank you so much. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out exactly how that plugin worked, but after some trial and error it worked flawlessly.
Thank for the "reverse" function as well. I couldn't figure out why some surfaces were different colors, but now I know (and knowing is half the battle!).
I plan on 3D print this little guy (38mm X 38mm X 6mm) to use as a board game piece. I've made some final adjustments and I think it's "ready" but can you please look over the integrity to make sure I'm not missing something critical?
You time has been much appreciated!
I'm trying to build a pretty simple shape and I'm having trouble creating a curved face. I've got round square/cube where I'm connection 2 parallel planes with Bezier to create a sloping plane. I've got everything "framed" and created the Bezier curves that I want to represent the slope, but I can't find something to do what I'd like.
Can someone help me out? I'm a total newb at sketchup, but ready to learn. I've attached my model so far.
