Hello everyone, I am new to sketchup, and the 2 arc tool is giving me problems. I try to make a normal 2 point arc, then right when I click to the other side and see what it looks like, this shows up.
That pops up when I try to do it one the corner, its just a line, and when I click away it goes away. Please help. Thanks
Bob
click and then the centre pops up next…
try stuff, you can always undo…

What do you mean? Where do I click.
click for first end >> click for second end >> move the centre bulge to where you want it…
also, if you leave the Instructor Window Open, it shows you the tool you are using…

That is step by step what I do, then at the end that weird line pops up. I want a normal bulge, this line pops up and I don’t know why. @john
Double click to set the second end of the arc when you get the magenta arc.
why are you right clicking?
Here’s the thing, when I try to do that, it automatically makes a dent in the box. I just want a line. See?
Let me show you, I’m trying to do what this guy is doing:
I was refering to this…

Yes @john! That is what I’m trying to do! Except when I do that, and release the left click, it just gives me that straight line you saw above!
What is the radius of the arc you’re trying to draw?
I will record what happens when I do that.
I usually double click when I’m happy, not sure you need to…
I suspect, like dave, your model is too small…
