Thankyou that worked great for leaving the rails behind but now how do i eleminate the lines left behind on my surface?

Instead of soapskin I added another rail and now I like the profile now I would like to eleminate the lines any ideas how? this is what I have.

plane skinning 3.skp

Thank you Tig for all of your help. With that way it looks like the profile is round and the lines i have now denote the form of the skin to curve so that it gives more head room.

Eebyrails is great but leaves a weird bump and i dont know how to fix it.

Ok I am trying to use soap bubble on the tale of my model and it says that the 4 lines im picking are not in a closed group? Any reason? I dont see any thing wrong.plane skinning.skp

hi all I tried to use the weld tool and it seams to not work. I click the 2 lines and click weld it ask's if I want to close the curve and draws some lines but it doesnt make the polyline one line.

How would i skin this. Ive tried lots of things with no avail. Im using curveloft

plane skinning.skp

is it possable to use a google satellite shot? I tried to save as an image but sketchup wont load it. i want to trace it to bid a concrete job im helping with.

Ok now i have my 4 groups extruded by rails how do i combine into one group eliminate the lines between groups and smooth? Im just getting lazy now that you are all so helpful and guide me strait to the right operation but im learning lots thanks.

You rock, thanks that got it.

Well i think im retarted... I went to smusterd and got weld and stray lines. There both text files and I don't know how to get them to work, none of the other plugins were txt they were rb or a zip.

Wow tig that is perfect. Now i need to figure out how to do that . What do you mean by weld do i need a plug in?

Thank you so much for all the help got it now.

Hi i have several plugins to loft with but I can not manage to loft this, can anyone help me thanks lots.

tuna trace.skp

nose2.skp

I just bought booltools and if i choose 2 objects it just crashes any one know what could be the deal?

I cant get it to work I see the tool bar, I click both groups, says scoolean is processing and it does nothing else. Thanks,

wow that looks like a dope tool. Thank you for the heads up ill be purchasing soon.

The problem im having mostly is that it is not just a cone. The tip is 1 1/2" dome the base is a 4' 6" diameter circle. it is about 7' 9" long. Its like a pointier Goodyear blimp. The curve is gradual. I guess i have to learn to post a pic.

Hi all first timer here... Im trying to draw the nose of my airplane. It is an off axis convex cone or a really pointy dome but the tip is 1.5 feet down off of the longitudinal axis. I tryed to autofold but it just moves at the first control points any other ideas?
