I’m wondering how to use the Follow Me tool to create a flexible panel around a curved kitchen island. Is this the right tool to achieve this effect?
I have the dimensions of the product that need to be applied to an island that is mostly square but has a curved end. Any advice would be appreciated!
Follow Me wouldn’t really be the appropriate tool for that. I would draw a reed and make it a component, then use Move/Copy and Rotate/Copy to make an array of them.
Why didn’t you record this? :)))
It’s so trivial I didn’t think it was necessary. Just basic SketchUp stuff.
It is actually…
Thank you
See this SU file for ideas.

very helpful thank you
Do you need to have the inside surface with the same reeded shape as the exterior.
FWIW, making a single reed component and copying it as I showed will have less impact on file size and performance. If that’s the only object in your model it’s probably not a big deal but if this is part of a larger project, it would be something to consider. Don’t add details that don’t contribute to the “story” you are trying to tell.
