Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a coffee table and i’m not sure what the best tool to use to create this. Any suggestions would be great.

> Hello gang, I have been asked to do a few easy line drawings of some upholstery ideas. Similar to a screen shot I have attached. What is the best way to draw cushions similar to the drawing attached? I have never drawn cushions before slight_smile Is there a good extension for this? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated? Thanks again! Jay

There have been other posts in the past for creating covering for funiture. Dave R. helped Danimaupin with chairs and there are others mentioning curviloft and how to do it with native tools.

A table similar to the image you shared? Or how do you want it to be? There are lots of ways of modeling something.

QuadFace Tools, VertexTools and SubD can get you where you want to go. Model the cushion and the base as separate components. Here’s a quick example… somewhat like your image.

You can even draw it in SketchUp for Web, but it depends on the desired result and how you will use it

Yes, similar to the ottoman that I shared. I want to create the exact same thing.

Oh wow… this is just what I needed! Funny enough, I started building the coffee table that way but didn’t know I could bend the shape as you did. Thank you!
