    I want to make a paint template. Using sketch-up I want to make U.S. NAVY tapered like on the bottom of the blue angels wings.

    I know this may be a simple question but I am new to sketch-up.

    Thanks, Greg M

    This is a good question Greg and to date I have not found an easy solution for doing what you are trying. The way I would do something like this is to trace the image in sketchup but that is time consuming and not very accurate.

    I will keep my eyes open for something else that may be of help and maybe one of the other boyz will chime in with a way the know of.
    Please let us know how you make out with this.

    That is a good find, Mark. It did the trick for me.
