Make it inside [or later make it into] a group or component - which will separate its geometry.
But remember that once any arc has been linked to other splitting or 3d geometry you can't change the original arc/circle's properties.
But when it's in a component I can't change a circle's properties either. Whether it's in a component or not I don't see how you can later alter it's properties.
I have a model I am working on. I add a circle and later decide that I want to change the number of sides or it's diameter. However because the circle cuts other lines on the model I can only select one part of the circle at a time. If I use shift key or make it a component or group I am not able to edit its side total or size. How can I keep the circle a single entity in my project?
Thanks.
I've just started using Sketch-Up and to be honest I probably won't need to use it very often. However I have already made a couple of shapes for puzzle making projects and successfully got them 3D printed. I have read some tutorials but I am still a newbie and I have got stuck on a simple shape that I need.
The shape is a 60mm diameter circle which has been pulled / extruded 80.578 degrees around a point on it's edge. Another way to describe it would be - Imagine a torus that has a very tiny hole in the centre. Now imagine it with no hole at all. Now cut a slice of it out like you would slice a cake. The slice has an angle of 80.578 degrees and both sides are circles from where it has been cut. That slice is what I need.
I have tried methods involving creating two circles and then using the follow me tool but nothing seems to work. For this kind of thing I am not really sure what I am doing and despite watching tutorial on the follow me tool I am not getting anywhere.
Thanks.
