Curve Maker Functions

  • This extension allows you to draw and edit many different kinds of curves within SketchUp.
  • You can access a large number of curves within the curve maker toolbar, many of which can be drawn interactively, allowing precision creation of curves.
  • These curves contain a number of different options you can set to create your different curves.
  • In addition, there are also a lot more curves that can be created very precisely using the Curve maker “Draw a curve” menu option.
  • One of the cool functions about this extension is that you can live edit most of your different curves by right clicking on them, then selecting the edit curve function.
  • You can then click and drag the different points to edit your different curves.

Overall, this extension contains a TON of different options for creating and editing curves within SketchUp. Initially, the interface can be a bit non-intuitive, but I have a hard time imagining a kind of curve this extension doesn’t contain.
