I am using a trial version of SketchUp Go (the web based version of SketchUp). It seems to have the same basic tools as Pro version. I was able to export an stl. file after some searching. How do you customized the number of segments in a curve ?
If you are using the Circle or one of the Arc tools you can change the number of sides immediately after selecting the tool. Just type the desired number in the Measurements window (remember not to click in the window). If you want to change the number of sides after you’ve drawn the circle or arc you can select it and edit it in Entity Info as long as you hvan’t done something like extruding the shape or something that has exploded it to the segments.
Keep in mind that there are practical limits to the number of sides you use in the arcs and circles and you need to avoid creating geometry that is so small you end up with holes in the curfaces.
Thanks again! I just figured out the second part of your answer, but didn’t realize I could do the first option you suggested.
Perhaps I should make this a separate topic. How do you customize shortcuts, or what I have always called quick keys, in the Go version?
Click on the Search icon at the top of the toolbar on the left. Search for the tool you want to assign a shortcut to and add the shortcut in the box for it.
Thank you
It’s worth noting that you can also use the suffix s to adjust the number of segments after drawing your circle or arc, type the number and s and hit enter, you can keep changing this while the tool is still active.
And ctrl with + and - will go up and down in steps.
The gif uses pro but works the same in web.
