Awesome, finally got it. Thanks a lot, guys! I'm also having one insanely frustrating issue with sketch up where the zooming in/out will just randomly not work and just barely move for a random amount of time until it just decides to work again. Have you ever had this issue?

To be honest I can't even really remember how I made the shape anymore. I've been teaching myself as I go on this couch model and just sort of using trial and error to figure it out as I go. This is my first real sketch up model that isn't a tutorial. I still can't seem to figure out how to simplify the geometry near the top on the front where there are about 10 small sections. I downloaded CleanUp3 and as far as I can see it's not changing anything regardless of the settings I choose. I'm sorry for my lack of understanding because I probably skipped passed some very basic stuff that I should have known from the start!

That makes sense to me about cleaning up the unnecessary geometry but how do I go about this?

That looks great! It's just supposed to look like a couch cushion so that should be enough rounding! How did you achieve this?

Thanks,

Patrick

Haha, definitely a possibility. I'm quite new at this. Here is the SketchUp file! If SketchUp isn't capable of creating this does that mean that I'd have to move up to a more complex program like AutoCad to get the right results?

Thanks again for the help!

Cushion Sketchup File

So after trying what you suggested, it seems that even still at 10 or 100 times scale it will still add the extra geometry. When rounding perfectly square corners it seems to work totally fine.

Thanks so much for your prompt reply! I will try that out right now!

I'm having trouble rounding corners in Sketchup 8 using the Round Corner plugin (LibFredo something).

I've attached 3 images to show you what I'm trying to do.

I need the corners to be rounded at least 5/8" and when I try it gives me extra strange geometry. When I try to delete the geometry it leaves gaps that I don't know how to fill.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Patrick
