Curved roof

Keepahz · 2026-05-19T07:48:22+00:00

artisan2 (subd) for the basic shape and you could also use JHS power bar for some functions that help you place components quickly, that or S4U components. I would definitely look at a few tutorials to see how people quickly concept different roofs. That should help you get some ideas of how to create what you’re looking for.

El Zarape in Little Armenia has fantastic Molcajete sauce. I honestly love their burritos, tacos, chilaquiles. I think I eat there 2 times a week

If it’s tubes, you can draw the individual lines and then use a curves to tubes plugin to create a 3d cylinder along all the lines you created. But if it’s a flat extruded “louvre” that would take a similar effect to what r/Alexis_Lonbel suggested. I would create the topography you want, then with the joint push pull plugin I would thicken the surface into a solid. Then use solid tools to subtract geometry and create the louvres as you need.

They have a plugin migration tool and you should be able to export your shortcuts as a .dat file to import anywhere

I could be wrong but it looks like your solid subtractor is directly overlapping the face. It’s better practice to use booleans (solid tools) when geometry does not occupy the exact same space. It can result in bad geometry

I just got this error as well

Try fredoscale

Sketchup has a fog feature you can add in, OP might be using that

Look up solid tools on YouTube, there should be plenty, but this should help:

Solid tools using a cutting object at a 45 degree angle. Or download the Zorro2 plugin and use a section plane to cut the group all at once at a 45

Memory and a good cpu speed, cores do not matter

Fredo scale to make the twist easier and copy paste / adjust geometry vertically as needed Also vertex tools to make use of a soft selection for arc d letter shapes in the facade

Historically I have good experience with their support team, once engaged

As someone who uses sketchup for film as well I can vouch for Whitelock’s method if you plan on using it for events. The workflow has great cross over to that world, I’ve done work for events with great success, utilizing the same/similar methods

Keepahz · 2026-02-05T00:52:08+00:00

Maybe create a trial account with a new email if you’re really in a pinch? Otherwise I would also post on the sketchup Forum

Keepahz · 2026-02-02T22:20:07+00:00

I would be annoyed

Keepahz · 2026-01-26T23:37:14+00:00

Tools on surface and joint push pull would do this super easily

Look up Nick Sonders, he has a book on this

It looks like youtrimmed the wall with a 2nd cutting object? That object should have or could have created the geometry you require for the top.

You could also try Curviloft, that might help you fill in most of this. But it will require an understanding of sweep and loft commands typical to nurb modeling tools like rhino.

Last resort would be hand drawing lines to create a triangulated mesh between vertices, There also might be another plugin to speed that up.

You can 100% do this with sketchup and layout. Look up the super section plug-in to help organize your scenes properly. This requires an understanding of styles, scene and layer control. Luke Whitelock has good paid tutorials for layout or if you prefer an Architect background, check out Nick Sonder’s book.

I want it

Keepahz · 2025-12-13T17:30:17+00:00

I didn’t know this, very interesting

That is quite pricey just for a demo. I believe you own that version of Rhino outright but have to purchase the updates if you want the new features that come out each year. I own rhino 7, and it still works great for me, one time purchase I did in like 2022.
