Here is a tut I just created. I am working on a covert model, really hush hush, but I can post how I made this shape.

Enjoy.

P.S. I will post the model I am working on in the Components someday soon.

SketchUp File

It has already been moved/copied. Thanks Coen. No need to re-do.

I'd like to move this to the Tutorial section or Boo, you could create a new thread there with this valuable information in it...?

Kris/Boo...let me know if you would like me to put a more detailed profile-followme-intersect with model method together. I'd be happy to if you are consumed with other things...let me know...cheers

Bruce, I will not have time to start a tut this morning, I can get to it tonight. If you want to start a thread go ahead, then I can tack on to it. That way we can have 2 methods in the same thread. What do you think?
If it is ok with Bernard, post one of the pictures from this thread of what was requested.

And if you do, please post a link from here to the new tut thread.

Ooof. It seems my model has been intersected
Edit, it seems we are in force tonight!

Like so.

I also noticed that the corners were rounded, you could explode the components into one and smooth the edge.

And last...

Edit component, intersect with model and delet unwanted.

Clean up and add details etc...

I hope this helps.

Second panel.

Push cut profile through and intersect with model.

Delete unwanted and make it a component.

Copy, mirror and rotate.

I will take a stab.
It seems I can only upload 3 images at a time so I will do this in shifts.

Draw your profile.

Push unwanted.

Draw cut profile.

Simple yet elegant. Thanks.

I got this one from the SketchUp forum last night.
chris71 posted it... it is not mine.

Sweet!

That is really cool. More images please. Or as my daughter used to say... "Pweeeeseee".

Start viewing Thesetutorials. They will answer many of your questions.

Here is a tutorial I created you can use for an example as well.

Download Tutorial

Nice.

Alright, I will check it when I get back to work next week... sometime.

I tried several times in the past to download this program. Starting about a year ago. Everytime I did the download would never finish or would lock up. Maybe after my vacation I will try again.

ACME brick has a free brick design program, which includes some concrete block. If you haven't already used it, you might want to check it out.

You can get it here just in case anybody wants it. I use it often.

Hey that is nice.

Also, while using the zoom tool, hold down shift, use your left mouse button and move it around. This will change your field of view interactively.
