Thank you very much for your answer. Yes that's what I thought I should do.
However, I thought that maybe a plugin could help me to avoid manual drawing as I am trying to get more than version of this shape... Also I think the main issue here is to connect the 2 cones with one shape based on a curve that joins them... My non-mathematical intuition also, tells me that it should be paraboloid hyperbolic or something like that.
Thank you again for your help.
Anyone else could help me on that ?
Thanks

Hyperbolic cone mesh and structure
Hello everyone,
I am new on this forum. I am facing a problem that drives me crazy, and I think I reached sketchup's limit... Please I need your help to prove me that I am wrong!
So, I am trying to create a surface that consists of 2 hyperebolics shapes cvonnected by a hyperbolic paraboloid shape I guess.
You will find attached the shape I made with the Soap Bubble plugin. I Just selected the curves I draw to generate a soap skin.
The problem I have is that i am trying to generate straight profiles for this shape. What I am trying to get is the structure elements that should include only straight elements and not curved as I did.
You will find attached an image of a basic hyperbolic structure shape that I am trying to get.
I tried several times to make it happen by trying with Curviloft pluggin as well but nothing worked...
Please I really need help !Thank you[/size][/size]
