Thank u Dave. I dont have a file as of yet. All I have done is use the arc tool and make the length 54" and the height (bulge) to 9 1/4". I then tried to play around with it but couldnt get it to do what I wanted. Im sure I could make the arc again and save it to a file.

Hello all complete newb here needing help creating a 2d archposted in Newbie Forum
Hello all,
Im sure this is one of the most basic things that can be done on sketchup. I am building an entertainment wall in my home with an arch on top of the center pier. All I am trying to do is find a way to create this arch and have it printed so I can make a template. I can use sketchup to draw an arc, but I want to pick 2 points on each side of the arc to "stretch it" and make it more eliptical than circular. I have tried for hours to figure this out. I would also like instruction on how to save the file so I can take it to a drafting printer and have it print out the pattern to the real dimensions (54" Long x 9 1/4" High).
Any help here is greatly appreciated. Oh and treat me like a 1st grader in the reply as I know next to nothing about using this program.
