That's it! Thanks again!

Thanks Liam and thanks for the offer! I was hoping that there was a way to do this in SketchUp (not just with people components but also plants, etc,) - I can change the image in Photoshop but I was looking to avoid this step.

Hey Y'all,

Is there a way to change opacity of 2D images in SketchUp Make? I downloaded an extension that promises to do this but it isn't showing up (tried restarting, etc). Here is Joni sitting pretty on a bench and I'd like to soften the image just a bit. Any suggestions??

Ok thanks! That worked!

Hi again! I am working on modeling the armrests for this bench in Make and am having trouble with curves! Creating the 1/2" face along the inside edge is easy enough but because the bench tapers using the Push/Pull tool doesn't align the bottom edge of the armrest to the outside edge of the bench. I tried using the follow me tool, which kind of worked but resulted in the armrest surface being crooked...also tried soap and bubble and sandbox with no luck. Appreciate any suggestions!

Oh! I exploded both shapes and got the missing faces - thanks to you both!

Ok thanks I think that worked! Can I create a face along the curved edge? Thanks again!

Ok! Thank you for the responses - I am going to try intersecting faces - here is the model! You will see it is cluttered with my process

Hi all,

Pretty new to SketchUp and trying to model a bench with multiple curves in Make - I think the solid tools would make this pretty easy but since I don't have access to most of those, I'm looking for a work around. I'm trying to get the seat boards (slats) kind of into a boat shape (see intersecting shape) but I can't figure out how to do it. Appreciate any suggestions - thanks!
