Hi guys, Is there an extension I need to model this twisted surface in Sketchup? Or some approach that I am not understanding? Driving me crazy! Foundstone™ Rhiannon 24'' Tall Solid Wood Abstract End Table & Reviews | Wayfair?

Dope. Thanks Mihai and Cotty!!!

What are all the plugins you are using? You have so many more than me!

I decided to try this as a challenge. I ended up using two paid plugins unfortunately. I subdivided a square rectangular prism with ARTISAN. I decided the actual shape needed to be squeezed at the middle height on the diagonal. I used VERTEX TOOLS for this with a soft select, selecting only the middle band. (Maybe this is also doable with Sketchy FFD) I then used FREDOSCALE BOX TWISTING. I smoothed with ARTISAN. (What I failed in is actually beveling the top and bottom nicely–This will take me more study with the crease tool.) [41%20PM] [57%20PM] [twist%202] In the original two of the corners at each end have a softer transition and two have the ridge of the twist. The corners are not that soft on mine and the corners just below the top should be more vertical.

My own “free style” version using only SketchUp native tools (scaled in one direction just for fun) (with “a little more effort and time” invested it could be done like the one in OP’s first thread’s link) [image]

Hi, @jessicas! Go to: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore Set to: Popular And install plugins that you really need. Keep in mind that there is no point in getting a lots of plugins and installing them so you have more. :wink: [sketchucation-03]

Continuing the discussion from Modeling this twisted surface: Hi , I was working on something similar and I was wondering if there was a way to add a pattern of holes on the curved surface? I have a project due and could really use a little help. thanks [Annotation%202019-12-07%20213953]
