SketchUp has the ability to do a lot of things. You can recreate existing structures, design a dog house, make a yurt, and many other things. This article will tell you how to make a curved pipe using the Follow Me Tool.
Steps
-
Using the Arc tool, create an arc.
-
Using the Orbit tool, change your perspective of the arc so that you have a good angle on the end of it.Advertisement
-
Click on the circle icon and go to the end of the arc and add a circle.
-
Add a second one, since this article is for a pipe. If you wanted it to be solid, you wouldn't need the second circle.
-
Delete the inner circle.
-
Move the arc again with the Orbit tool so that you get a better perspective to use the Follow Me tool.
-
Select the arc and then click on the Follow Me tool.
-
With the Follow Me tool, click on the ring that is left from the circles. It will follow the path of the arc.Advertisement
