You'll want to give those thickness with Joint Push-Pull ruby or Perhaps shell ruby.

thanks pbacot,

I tried joint/push pull but it left little wedges in between each surface. But I plan to layout each 1/4" cut for the laser cutter in Revit so it'll be fine for it's purpose then I'll be able to get each layer's shape.

Thanks for the tips!

So I modeled the silver bowl and didn't really like it. I know after all that! But I did learn a lot so thanks!

Here are the two I came up with.

I will post pictures when I cut, glue, sand, and finish the final product!

Thanks,
Lorne

Yea I was wondering that too, so what I'm gonna do just leave the bottom a little flat when I cut it out in slices. Then glue all the wood rings/slices together and sand smooth for a nice finish. It's going to be a centerpiece/fruit bowl for a christmas gift.

Never mind I figured it out. I'll keep playing with it. It is really hard to get this to look right, but I don't know other software. I'll post what I finally come up with. I am trying to layout a bowl to cut in layers on a laser cutter and then sand it all smooth.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Jean. Great file tutorial.

However when I try to recreate it I get an error saying that my two solids I am wanting to intersect are not solids and it won't work?

Ideas as to why?

Thanks,
Lorne

Boo,
that's awesome thanks. How do you get rid of the faceted edges once I make my shape?

The help plugin documentation isn't very good.

THanks,
Lorne

Any other views?
What is it?

There are a number of ways this could be achieved from free to paid plugins but with the basic SU tools it might be difficult.

Ok since I'm a newbie, what plugins should I use? Preferably free. In the image, the back side of the bowl has kind of a bulge I don't want that, just the front side of the bowl with the shape left and right.

That make sense? Any direction would be MUCH Appreciated!

Lorne

Oh sorry, no I don't have any other views. It's a type of fruit bowl

Hello there,

How might I go about creating a similar shape in sketchup?

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Lorne
