SketchUp Community,
I have two questions:
How can i extrude between two points A and B (please refer to the diagram attached.
How can i measure (and create an angular line) the angular distance from L1 and L3 through L2
I will appreciate for your kind help.
Best Regards
Terence
What do you mean by "angular line? Are you just trying to get the length of the arc? If you select the arc, Entity Info will tell you its length. If you need to show that length as a dimension, you’ll need to do that manually. The best place to do that would be in LayOut.
Thank you very much Dave, i get your point am working on the solution, The “angular” i was referring was the case 2 (the right building on the sketch file.) The signage with the curve shape. Let say i have two straight line L1 and L3, with their definite sizes. Now i want to create a 9.7m curved line which connects L1 and L3. How can i create a round path connecting two point with exact 9.7m, and how can you display the distance measured? Thanks
So you want to draw an arc through 90° that is exactly 9.7m long? There isn’t a native tool that allows you to specify an arc length but it’s not difficult to calculate the required radius.
As for labeling it, I would do it manually in LayOut. SketchUp doesn’t have any tools for displaying arc lengths like it does for linear dimensions.
Edit to add: Out of the cobwebby ancient history files comes a recollection of an old extension called ArcbyTools by TIG from Sketchucation. It offers a tool for drawing an arc of a given length and a given angle.
