    • RE: Connecting noncoplanar arcs for 3D printing

      Thanks for the reply, I've tried the method and it seems to work fine. Now, there is only one thing left that's causing some trouble but I'll try to resolve it on my own before asking about it here.

      Thank you for your help ๐Ÿ˜„

    • Connecting noncoplanar arcs for 3D printing

      Hi,

      I'm a beginner with SketchUp, currently using the trial version. I am designing an object for 3D printing project at my Uni and need some professional advice before I loose my sanity. The file and some photos will be attached to this post.

      Everything was fine and I was happily using "Follow Me" to create the curved edges but when it came to the round end, the "Follow Me" tool refuses to work correctly and leaves me with empty fields. I tried to overcome it by drawing arcs manually but now I am unable to create a layer that would connect them together. I know that drawing multiple rectangles/triangles creates small faces but it doesn't always work and probably won't work with a 3D printer. Thus I'm looking for a way to do it more effectively.

      TLDR; how do I create a 3D printing-compatible model with "face" between noncoplanar arcs without spending eternity drawing triangles.

      Kind regards,
      Lucas
