We're talking the ins and outs of the arc tool in this SketchUp Square One! Buff up on all the basics - did you know there are FOUR versions of this tool? - and incorporate these tips into your workflow!

Yes that's a great shortcut but from my perspective it's also an example of what is inherently wrong with Sketch Up. I've been using it on and off for nearly 20 years and even though I know there's a short cut for this I have to look up a KZfaq video because it's so unintuitive and unlike other drawing paradigms.

We can double click not only convex corner but also non convex (concave) corner with 2 point arc command. There is one more things that 2point arc can do while rounding corner. First, click edge. Second, click another edge. (

No joke. Spent three hours last night trying to model a simple dome. Every video on youtube shows people making it with the two point arc tool, and doing it in like three seconds. It never worked for me. 99% of the time the arc was skewed off axis, which frankly, is incredible to me, because I cannot think of a single instance in human history where anybody has needed such a thing, nor can I imagine a single practical use for it in this universe or any other, and yet somebody took time to program it to do that and probably thought they were a genius for it. Now I see I could have just used the single point arc tool and saved hours of frustration.

I find these immensely helpful. There’s always some nuance to pick up and Aaron always seems to find them. What next? Follow-me remains mysterious. I still can’t figure out what to select first then where to click. Sometimes the shape follows the line automatically, sometimes I have to drag with the mouse. I know it’s me I’ve never figured it out.
@robinmorritt74933 жыл бұрын
1. Make sure nothing is preselected. Select Follow-me tool, click shape, then follow the line. 2. Preselect the line(s), curve or the face. Select the Follow-me tool and click shape.
@hansdijkstra58143 жыл бұрын
What startled me in the beginning were the names of the arc tools. Wich one to use. Mind you, there is no such thing as a 2 point arc :). The first tool is centre, point, point (CPP). The 2nd is point, point, radius (PPR).The 3rd is 3 points (PPP). The Pie is again CPP. The red lines in the tool icons could help by indicating the order of clicks. Only then the red line in the 2point arc tool icon isn't correct. The line from the "centre" to the upper left point should come from either of the other two points.

This video helps tremendously. I want to make an arc in a board that would otherwise be a rectangle. Can I draw the lines of the rectangular parts then connect the straight lines with the two-point arc tool and push/pull to a thickness? Will a face be created when I connect the parts of the arc to the straight lines?

On the last example of rounding a corner, is there a way to get the distance of your starting point from the corner. So maybe choose the 2 point arc tool, then click on the corner and as you move back from the corner along an edge the distance from the corner is displayed on the command line. Similar to the way that the Pie Arc tool displays the distance but not working off a radius origin point. Also, unrelated is why can't SU determine the greatest number of segments for an arc and not throw that annoying error message in your face that the number of segments is too high. Then you set the number of segments and create the arc, maybe you get lucky and 7 is OK but if not you get banged with the same error message. Once I use Ctrl +/- to set the number of segments, why not keep that choice until I manually change it, don't revert back to 12 and give the user the same error message again. Very frustrating and kills productivity having to repeatedly manually set the number of segments. There is probably a way to avoid all this so please explain. Ideally SU would draw the smoothest arc it could (highest number of segments) for a small radius or diameter.

Muy buenas explicaciones, un solo punto que me gustaría se aclarara, en el caso del arco que hizo en el rectángulo se tomó una medida arbitraria para el radio del arco, cómo se hace para que el arco tenga una radio determinado? Gracias de antemano Very good explanations, a single point that I would like to clarify, in the case of the arc that you made in the rectangle an arbitrary measurement was taken for the radius of the arc, how is it done so that the arc has a certain radius?

That tip you gave at the end - there must be a special technique for this as it only works sporadically for me and have yet to figure it out. Most times I will click my point and it gives me a straight line instead of the cyan coloured arc. It's really frustrating.

Hi Aaron, missing point is the errors in creating arcs (and circles) the error I keep getting is "too many segments for the size of arc" even when I try reduce segment count before arcing I can't create the arc
@AaronMakingStuff3 жыл бұрын
Running into this issue means you are creating arcs that are too small. You may want to scale your model up, add the needed geometry and then scale back down.

When you rounded off the corners of the rectangle, you picked an arbitrary point on the side. What if you wanted a specific radius on the corners, how would you pick a point? Is there another way other than setting a guide at the distance on the edge?
@jonomoles3 жыл бұрын
Yes, draw a line from the corner. Set its length to the radius you want then use the new vertex that creates as your radius start point. Or the non Aaron way- use a guide.! 😬

Would be nice to be able to be able to draw the first corner radius, then modify the entity info (segments and radius) and the be able to carry on with the double clicks in the corners. However the guide gets me halfway there so good suggestion, thanks.

I didn’t get the 3 point arc. It seems a little random where the arc ends landing, once you define the angle. Can you give an specific example in some project?Thanks for all information!
@DarkMoonDroid3 жыл бұрын
That one is weird. 4:25 The 1st point you choose is where you want the arc to start. The 2nd point you choose is a place where the arc _must go thru._ And the 3rd point you choose is where you want the arc to finish. So, if you have a place in your model that requires an arc to be touching it - such as a rain gutter along a roof line or ??? - you can just draw an arc using this thing and it will go exactly there. It's hard for me to imagine where I'd have to use that and I couldn't use anything else, tho. So... ? The angle is not defined by this tool. Only the points of contact.

@rickvincent33323 жыл бұрын
Anything that breaks the arc, if you explode it simply becomes a series of edges. Interestingly if you break it by intersecting it with another line along its length it is split into two sections that are still arcs. You can't modify the whole arc but each section independently.
