Modeling a curved table apron in SketchUp
The opposite day, a cabinetmaker of mine requested me to mannequin a small nook desk for certainly one of his purchasers. The design temporary referred to as for a spherical desk with a curved entrance apron. With some extensions, that is fairly easy. For this mannequin I used three extensions: Curve Maker, Form Bender and Eneroth Strong Instruments. All these extensions are freely accessible from the Extension Warehouse.
There are some workflow issues I might such as you to pay attention to. First, contemplate the thought of modeling in-place as a lot as you may and leveraging what you have already modeled to scale back information entry. One other a part of an environment friendly workflow is utilizing SketchUp’s potential to “bear in mind” issues like offset and push/pull distances. Possibly you may discover different issues you may add to your workflow.
Hope you discover some software for this type of factor.
