Great tutorial - it got me to thinking and this is what I came up with. Just a different way to peel the orange. (I would have used "skin the cat" but I didn't want to get PETA on my case - <grin>)

Enjoy - and thanks for all you your help. I've learned a great deal in the past two weeks with Sketchup.

Ok, unlucky you have the one version in which you have to click on that button for every line. It was put there for debugging purposes and was meant to be removed. The current version does not have that annoying button.

Thanks! Worked a charm!

Hi Eugen,

It seems like a classical "clipping".
Have you changed any of the camera settings? On my PC it works properly.

Nope, I did not change a thing. This is what appeared, just the way the file opened automatically after it finished downloading. I spun things around and zoomed out afterwards but all to no avail. I have seen this before when I was too far in or trying to do too much too fast all at one time.

It is a computer - I should keep my expectations low.

Thanks for the response.

You will require the following 2 amazing Scripts:

BezierSpline.rb (Thank you Fredo6)
Skin.rb (Thank you Darrel)

Download from Didier's Site

See attached skp file for a quick tutorial

You could also use SoapSkinBubble for this and similar tasks - another fantastic script.

Howard, I have tried to use Skin.rb a few times, always with the same result. When I came across this tutorial, I was excited to see what I have been doing wrong, but, alas, I still get the same error. Using your very own skirt (if I may be so bold), I selected both top and bottom and activated skin. at the 194th click of OK, I got the error message below:

I am using SU6.4.112 on an HP XP laptop

Thanks for any advice you can give,
Eugene

Thanks, Edson.

But I'm afraid no such long text could fit into that small space in the SU text field.
I1ll see though.

Since I had no idea that there was any character limit in SU, I just cut and pasted the additional comments instructions into this tutorial, updated the scenes and, viola!

Thanks for all your great tutorials,

Here's a revised, simpler method for creating a brick arch from scratch, with the joints radiating from the center. Again, although simple it is time consuming and should only be used when you feel your model warrants this level of detail.

Also, this works for creating an arch from scratch. If you've alreeady modeled the arch and want to add mateerrials to it, the steps are slightly different. I will post a separate tutorial as soon as possible.

Thanks for the tutorial, but, except for scene 1, all I see are as the screen shots below illustrate:

Thanks for any suggestions
