Hi chaps,
Being new to SketchUp you may be hearing from me a lot, so . . . how do I delete the vertical line without 'making a hole', in the image attached?

Thanks for your help and excellent forum,

Dave R and everybody,

Thanks for your help. It works for me now; having scaled it up considerably, drawing and removing unwanted lines one corner at a time.

Thanks again

Hi Dave,
I'll do what you suggest. Bit late tonight - I'll get back to you.

Thanks again

Dave R,

That's exactly what I'm looking for but when you say "I rounded the corners with arcs and deleted the waste at the corners.", that's what I did but when I delete the corners the whole object becomes "un-joined" (for want of a better word!) . . .
And what do you mean by "I "eased" the edges of the shelf . . ."?
Thanks again
John L

Thanks Dave R, pbacot, Box and TIG,

Thanks for your help and comments, I have attached a rough sketch.
Starting with sharp corners and adding arcs, then erasing unnecessary corner bits, I find the lines don't join.

Hi everybody,
I need to draw apiece of curved glass, 2 or 3 cms thick, in an arc shape, with rounded corners, about 3cms radius. Width of glass about 20cms with the arc about, say 50cms. It is a glass shelf. I will use the line tool and the arc tool combined, but I simply can't get them to join. I think they should join. What am I doing wrong. If anybody can help, I'd be grateful.
This a huge stumbling block! Hope my description makes sense!

Also how do I attach my own graphic?
Many thanks
John Leftwich

Thanks for your help.As a matter of interest, I'm one of the 'older' generation so you'll have to forgive my brain, it ticks over a lot slower!

Hi everybody,
I'm new to SketchUp. While waiting for a manual to arrive, can someone explain how to draw a pointed roof?
Thanks a lot
