Help with a type of table design

SketchUp Pro
1

Hello, I am trying to learn some new skills as I pretty much always do just straight forward designs with not alot of rounding and or curves.

I am attaching a screen shot of what I am trying to do and am failing miserably :slight_smile: I have also attached a screen shot of what I have done so far. After trying numerous things to no avail, I thought I would ask the experts for help.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, or if there are certain tools and or extensions I may need for this. I have fredo corner and tried that, with not alot of success.

Thank you once again.

Jay

Share your .skp file.

I’d start by making the leg blank wider than the finished piece and then trim it after the rounding is done. The radius in my example is a little large just to make it easier to see.

See my edit above.

I would suggest redrawing the arcs on the leg so they are tangent to the edges of the leg.
