Hello again,
I looked at a post by gully about the arc tool, and took his advice, and I am generating arcs now!
Thank you,
from akurat

Hi, I am new to google sketchup, and thank you for being here to help me. I was working through the tutorial, and when I got to the arc request, I got an angle generated from my efforts instead of an arc. Is there something I have to preset?

Thanks,
akurat
