Is there a more efficient method than using Flowify to blend this acrylic sheet?

[Kwin]

Hi,

I am looking for an easier way to model this blended acrylic sheet.

Right now, I’m using Flowify, which works well but takes time to set up. I have to create five groups, and it has to be done just right. Especially in the early design stage, I wish to quickly model and analyze the overall design before delving into finer details.

I’ve also noticed that Flowify is from 2015, but it still works fine after eight years.
I’m curious if there are any alternative modeling tools or extensions that might be more efficient for shaping this type of blended sheet.

Thanks for sharing your process.

Shape bender will do it faster and easier.
Flowify version 1.1.0 was released in 2015, it hasn’t had an update in years but it’s marked to be compatible until SketchUp 2019, that means that it has been reviewed by the developer.
