Conrete Skatepark

[racksat]

Hi! My name is Göran and im a 37 year old carpenter. I've been using Sketchup about 4 years for all kind of designs.
I'm into skateboarding and so far I've built two skateparks and I used Sketchup to design one of them.
The recent parks have been made of wood, but now I started designing on a concretepark, but I ran in to problems.
In one section theres supposed to be three different bowls that are connected. (Check the attached file) I made it with one sidecut and depth, but i would like three different sizes. I guess I'll be needing some kind of plugin but I dont know were to start. Now when I've found this forum I hope someone know how to solve my problem!

Thanks

No doubt than Jeff Hammond will be interested of that and will give you some cool advices
You must edit your tittle post and put something like "Concretepark"

hey goran.

here's a little video showing an approach to making these kinds of blends.. i left some things out and went through is sort of quickly but i think it will get the idea across.. if you have any questions about the video, feel free to ask..

Hey Jeff!

I got really far, thanks to your tip, but when i loft a corner (or a hip) the outlines seem to end up in segments.
That gives me problem when im trying to select a curve. Do you know why?
