BurrMan, Michael Gibson: thank you so much!

I understand that the program itself can not figure out what to do in a given case. But if such curves a lot, what do you do? Each curve will have to edit?

As I recall, in Google Sketchup no such problem, although there is another principle of modeling - the polygon.

In any case, thanks again for your help!

Hi Alex,

Well, instead of editing each curve, it's actually better to not create a curve like that in the first place.

So for example instead of drawing those parts with several different lines, just draw a single line for those straight areas of those curves.

You definitely want to make your initial curve structure to be nicely and cleanly constructed - any kind of messy structure in your initial drawn curves will tend to create correspondingly messy surfaces...

As far as I know there isn't any kind of similar loft tool in the regular Google Sketchup program, it is based more on creating straight extrusions, so there isn't really an equivalent operation that involves this kind of matching between different curves.

The overall method of operation is quite different between MoI and SketchUp.
