Do you believe that you can simply use Sketchup basic tools to create spheres and hemispheres?
3dshouse will show you the way to create them easily.
Step:
- Spheres:
- First, create a first circle with your desired radius.
- At the center of the first circle, create another circle perpendicular with the first circle’s plane.
- Delete first circle’s plane.
- Select the path (first circle)
- Activate the Follow Me tool ( or choose Tools, Follow Me)
- Click the second circle plane
- Right click and select the “Intersect Faces” tab. Now, we have a Sphere
2. Hemispheres :
- To create a hemisphere, create a circle with your desired radius.
- At the center of the created circle, create another circle perpendicular with the first circle’s plane.
- Delete the planes and lines that are not needed
-
Select the path (first circle)
- Activate the Follow Me tool
- Click the face of hemisphere and Intersect Faces. Done!
3. Dome:
- To create a dome, execute the same steps as creating a hemisphere.
- Here, select the hemisphere plane, select the Offset tool.
- Type a number and the Imperial, then press Enter
- Add and delete lines to create an enclosed boundary base for the dome.
