In a design that I have drawn, an unintended shape is created when a surface is moved.
I eventually manage to make the shape the way I want it, but that’s a lot of work.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to do this quickly and easily?
Figure 1
The desired shape is the end result. Before moving, I drew a line between the two planes on each ‘endpoint’ of the arc.
That looks pretty normal for the shape you have. If you manually split the surface with radial edges as you have in your first screen shot yo encourage SketchUp’s Autofold to give you what you want.
Thanks Dave and Cotty for your explanation and solution. With the ‘Follow me’ tool I can quickly and easily carry out the modification. That saves a lot of drawing lines by hand
