A Queen Anne Pad Foot Leg in SketchUp

I just want to know how much time it took to figure that one out. Nice job.

Thanks. Took me longer to type the blog entry.

Dave,
When I first glanced at the drawing above, I thought, “Piece-a-cake!”
Then I looked at those feet. !!!!

So, where ARE the instructions?
I guess I don’t know where to look. (=-)Don

Hi Don.

Click on the word, “look” for the instructions.

DUH!
Not very observant, am I?

Dave,
I had to try it without help first, not a chance. Now with your help I’m up to drawing the profile of the leg but when I try to run the follow me tool I keep getting “cannot extrude curved face”. I didn’t have any trouble with the foot profile but no luck on the leg. I know this shocks you that I would be having trouble with the follow me tool :) ,any suggestions? I tried it once without erasing the unwanted part of the profile and I could get that part to make a hallow impression of the leg, in other words I could get the waste part to follow the circular path but not the leg.

Paul, is it at all possible that the profile for the leg isn’t a single face? Generally that message appears if you try to run the tool on more than one face that are joined by a softened or smoothed edges. Try turning on Hidden Geometry and look for any dotted lines running across the face of the profile.
