Curved tiles around edge of pool

SketchUp
#1

Greetings!

Is there any (easy) way to achieve what is shown on attached picture? Basically I want to put tiles around the edge of my curved pool!

Do you want those tiles to be created from geometry (groups/components) or just a simple texture?

I prefer to use components, this way I can texture them and make them a bit more intricate. I tried using the Curviloft plugin, but that didn’t quite work. Also tried several plugins that can copy items along a path. I’ve uploaded the model if needed.

There are extensions that directly create groups/components from faces.

You’re welcome!

You could improve the geometry you created in your model for the desired result

or using a custom tile
