Yes, You can convert a line to different curves using BezierSpline - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=13563#p100509

But please, if You are so in a hurry to master SketchUp just use a search function in the forum.

I'm not in a hurry, it's just that i have two weeks to finish this project, and i'm only getting to terms with sketchup.

1. Open Sketchup
2. Look at top line menu Help.
3. Select Help Center.
4. Select Getting Started at left panel.
5. Select Learn the basics
6. Select Sketchup Getting Started Guide
7. Look for Creating your First Model in the list of page links.
   The model is a chair created from scratch.

I can't call the above litany of steps simple. Too much drill down to get help.
However, this is the way I started. With the basics. Totally awestruck.

thanks for that, is there anyway to convert straight lines into curved?

are their any tutorials in using the tools?
