If you haven’t installed extensions from the Warehouse, see our post on how to do it. For the others, you could get away with SketchUp’s native tools.)Īll of these extensions can be found on the Extension Warehouse. (The only extension that’s *really* needed for this project is Path Copy. Fredo Scale (plus its accompanying library extension).You could also use SketchUp’s Follow Me tool instead but it takes a bit more work.) Profile Builder 2 (a good deal at $59.99, and 30-day trial version available.Like with my canopy designs, I use extensions to speed up work flow. In Part 2 I’ll model the vertical supports.Īnd in Part 3 I’ll finish up, with the horizontal cross beams along the top.Īt the end of Part 3, I’ll include a ~4 minute video which shows how to place the tilted cross beams – watching can be easier than explaining with still images. In this post, I’ll create the horizontal curved beam that follows the pergola path. The only tricky part is joining the parts together. The pergola I’m modeling here is composed of three parts: Vertical supports (bottom), curved horizontal beam (middle) and tilted cross beams (top).Įach individual piece is easy to construct. In this three-part series, I’ll show how to create another element of public space design: a park pergola. See Part 1: Sail Canopy, Part 2: Canopy Support, and Part 3: Fluid Sail Canopy. These aesthetic landscape design elements are shade-providing canopies – very popular these days. In a previous series, I showed how to model a few kinds of sails in SketchUp.
