A really simple example of how sketchup can be used to help design some promotional material.

I've basically started with a gothic arch and an offset and worked from there. I've kept the two original outlines as the standard and used them to make everything else fit.
I created the designs in sketchup and used Eneroth's .svg exporter to get the linework into Lightburn for the laser.
These are some of he designs.

I was able to use them for both cutting the wood and working with the glass paint.

Then I designed a box to fit them in, it helped being able to use 3d models to work out how things fit together.
You can see the complete box to hold 20 'cards' and its corresponding flat layout ready for the laser and my current thinking on a box for 10 with a hinged and sloped lid.

I didn't find the need to model all the cutouts and engraving in sketchup, although I could have, since I had exported them all ready for the laser.
So it became a simple case of put the parts together in Lightburn and set fire to everything.
The current result being a finished set of 20 with traveling box.

For those wondering, I have created these as a way to promote one of my skills and to help a troubled industry. Stained Glass is under threat from different angles, just some of which are declining interest in Old Stuff, Nanny state terror of working with lead, general indifference and weathering of old buildings. I'm hoping to use these to give some of those with an interest in restoring their old windows somewhere to turn. To that end I plan to take some road trips around regional Australia and talk to people and leave these as a point of contact.
They aren't your average pamphlet stuffed in your letterbox.

Just a bit of showing off really.
This is the charcoal full size cartoon for a full door panel.

Set up on my bench read to start the leading process, and yes my workshop is on a boat.

A detail of the beginning.

The bottom section off the bench and up to the light.

Top in progress.

Nearly there.

Up to the light, late afternoon sun.

And when finally installed.

Now I want to see pictures of the boat as well

I don't have any recent ones, this was it when I bought it 7 years ago. It has changed a lot since then. The workshop is basically from the door on the side to the back. Kitchen between workshop and wheelhouse. Main 'Office' is in the wheelhouse because I can close it off and heat and cool it, I have four monitors in there. The workshop has 3 monitors and a design desk setup.
Upstairs, openable sundeck, which has my treadmill and 3rd workstation, only two monitors up there, I can watch TV and use PC while on the treadmill. All three sets of monitors run off the same PC via hubs so I on the same files wherever I am.
Then double bedroom and full bathroom and finally open back deck.

It is a converted Whitsundays inter island ferry, capable of 40kn+ in its heyday. Still manages mid 30s. Two 400 horse inboard turbo diesels below the waterline.

She's old but so am I and she is home.

I wake up to this.

Nod off to this.

And regularly pull these in with a simple hand line for dinner.

It's a tough life but somebody's got to do it.

Without plugins.
The only things off screen are, Weld Edges and Soften edges.
Note I use a polygon to get the hard edges, which when welded allow the taper.

Now that Clothworks has been updated for 2024 here is a very simple example.

Just thought I would throw a few recent jobs into this old thread for the few people that might be interested.

Hover over an edge to get the center inference to appear and grab it there, then do the same to place it.

Slap on a huge tariff and everything will come good.

A little more knotting.

@sarahjaneboothdesign
The rails need to be a 'curve' a single edge won't work.
You can divide the edge and then weld it and it will work.

You could also try the confusingly named, Groups to Components.

Hover over an edge to get the center inference to appear and grab it there, then do the same to place it.

It sounds more like a question for a slicer forum. Understanding the ins and outs of infill is not really a sketchup thing.

Ah ok, that would be nice as I don't have one of those.
But give it time I'm sure you'll get to love it.

Which one is it.
The basic wired?

@bedavisdesign said in Is there any way to "solo" a tag:

I do realize that SU abandoned the use of layers many versions back

It is only a name change.

Turn the other Tags off.

If you have raw geometry that is untagged (as it should be) it is one of the few occasions where changing the active tag is useful.

It's just an arc, why do you need a plugin. Draw the arc and use follow me to create the extrusion. Unless I am missing some detail.
