Hi Alex, thanks for your quick response and nicely done tutorial. This is better than what i hoped for. But how do you keep everything selected while you click on the push/pull tool? When i select it, the sphere turns off.

Hi sketchers, since one picture explains as much as thousand words...here is my chalenge. (.png below)

I found this picture and its the closest one to my conception. The only thing i want to change is, that the staves should be round. The guy who created this uses ruby. I hope there is a more simple way to achive.

Thanks for reading, take on the chalenge

Outstanding Tools. Thanks for the good work Tig.

Hi Guys, i have a question to curved surfaces?! I use the follow me tool to construct a surface winding between two lines. But now i habe three lines and sketchup ignores the third one. Its quiet difficult to tell. Have a look by yourself,... and thanks for reading.

First picture is a look from behind above, second from above direct. You see the emty bow? The surface should follow all three lines...like a sail over a frame.
