Sketchup Model a Sofa Cushion using SubD - Part 1 

Thanks! I uploaded part 2 a few weeks ago!

For simple shapes you may be able to use round corner or other beveling tools, but you will quickly run into frustrations for any shapes that are more complex. Inside corners have a tendency to be especially hard for those kinds of tools

Also, what is that tool you have of a white circle with red dots?

Do you mean the connect edges tool? This tool only works if you have more than two edges selected, and you have to make sure you click the check mark in the popup display box to apply any changes.

@@mariagalgiusiano6395 This is the show/hide hidden edges button from the toolbar "Mr. Hide". The other two buttons next to it are show/hide edges and show/hide profile edges.

Hi @stevespicer5275. Sorry for the long delayed reply. That is a custom toolbar combining several extensions. The first 10 are from Quadface Tools, the next 6 are SubD tools and the rest are Vertex tools. I put this combination together because they are the ones I use the most and it keeps my work are clear of clutter. The extension used to make this is called Toolbar Editor

Sure - I'll see if I can get that uploaded soon.

Hi! Thanks for the comment. It's an attempt to create more realistic looking cushions. you can use the round corner tools for simple shapes, but they tend to be very hard looking. if you are rendering, then it's helpful to be able to make your cushions look softer and more organic. This is a simple cushion, but if you follow then next video (part 2) you'll see where you can start to add wrinkels and imperfections that make things look more real. Also, if you have any complex shapes to model, then learning the basics here will help with those in the future. Hope that helps!
