They have quite and archive of projects and will answer questions. If this is not new information for any of you I apologize. I'm not sure if you have to be a paid member to access this site or not....you can only give it a try. http://www.finewoodworking.com/blog/design-click-build George On Aug 16, 2:13 pm, Groovy Wood LLC <groovyw...@gmail.com> wrote: > If anyone does this please share the picture and how it was done. > > Thanks > Greg > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com > > [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gary > Moshofsky > Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 1:16 PM > To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com > Subject: RE: sample sketchup drawings > > As I understand it Sketchup has a method where you can follow a line with a > shape.
