I am going to be building a mantle that has ionic volutes on the legs…I am modeling it in sketch up…but having a difficult time drawing it.[image] here is a picture of it. I haven’t been able to find any good resource of instruction. There is a video on youtube that has a similar application, but …

thats exactly what Im looking to do! I have curve maker…but haven’t been able to get it to do what your showing?!!

Ive only been able to get the spiral to go, but not a 3d ramp like your showing?

are there any basic instructions to show exactly what you did?

Thanks for your reply. Is there a tutorial how to create the 4 views in different scenes? I have only made a few attempts with scenes, and I’m not a experienced user of Sketchup. But I’m fascinated by the possibilities of the program.
