I would like to model this seashell for a niche, and I’d really appreciate suggestions as to which extension I should try.

Alas, I first got an email where you named the extension, and I can’t find that anymore. And I can’t tell from this post what that extension was!
Thanks

Not sure if this will help. Modeled with native tools.
Flute for Shell Alcove.skp (105.7 KB)
Thank you for that! I look forward to learning Flowify, but this will save time for a quick concept.

Howdy! Thanks for asking. It took a while to figure out. I used all native SketchUp tools. Currently running SketchUp 2019 Pro with plans to upgrade to 2022.
Drew a donut shape, a Torus, and took a wedge shaped section out of the side which created the pie shaped flute for the shell. Then made it a Component. Using the Move tool raised the flute on its point. Rotated the flute with the rotate tool to make the shell. Lots of fun figuring it out. If you need more info. I will be glad to help. All the best, Steve (Roughdraught) (Transom)
Thanks. I don’t think I would have thought of that, but I think I could do it based on your explanation.
