Hello,

I just started using Sketchup. I’m trying to create a curved face on a component and nothing seems to work. Any advice would be welcome.

Thank you!

I would erase all except the top surface and the push-pull that face to the required thickness.

If you spend some time at [The Learning Center](https://learn.sketchup.com/), you will learn how to use the tools to get what you want. (interactive tutorials) Also, go to [The SketchUp YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/SketchUpVideo/playlists) and pay attention to the Square One series. Both are sponsored by the SketchUp Crew and well worth the time spent there.
