Arcs and Circles in SketchUp

[@keggyification]

Cheers Aaron, Another clear instructional video for the collection. Very useful & important information in there.

I find 60 segments works well and that is also accurate when you are talking about degrees or minutes.

Excellent video on this topic. Instructive! Thanks again Aaron. I am missing in SketchUp's presets the ability to have the 24 segments in the base be different. For example 48 segments. I know you can set this before you start creating a circle, but it would be a nice addition if you could determine this yourself in the base settings. Possibly you could discuss this with your colleagues....

Alas, 24 sides is a persistant default... as an optomist, I hope to see a setting in Gen Info, one day!

[@mekkler]

Because of the stuff I usually draw, I almost always up the segments to 32 or 64 or another power of 2. This seems to avoid a lot of problems of strange results when intersecting faces. I would even change the default of 24 segments to 32 if it was possible (or I could figure out how). I come from an Autocad background where 'entities' are stored as equations so that tangents and intersections, etc, are calculated to 12 or 16 decimal places.

had a lot of issues with exporting to dxf for cnc. i did the 2D export. Glad to learn I should do it in 3D. Thx Aaron

[@lloydwensley2982]

Thanks for clarifying the export to 3d model dxf interprets cicle as a true circle. This is something my laser cutting contractor has struggled with as I was exporting cutting profile as 2d since it was flat

please do some tutorial about generating report function inside the SU, thanks in advance

[@nigelmendonca]

I think that the default number of the segments should be higher to allow drawing of a smooth circle ,every other setting should remain the same

[@deanlegg418]

Great video, one question , why does the annoying pop up appear every time you change the number of segments Any way to turn it off?

[@Melomaniatik]

its 3 am i have a final exam tomorrow and i need to do some circles in sketchup im going crazy thanks for the tutorial

[@wahyudi111]

Nice tips....

[@gusbert]

How are Beziers handled?

[@mekkler]

It is possible, but very tedious, to draw by connecting individual arcs and lines. Very worthwhile to use add-ons.

Please make one video on material how too make bum material by v ray settings REGARDS
