Hey,

I'm trying to build a curved chain for a project of mine, and I was wondering if there's any way I can build it besides actually copying each and every link and then rotating it. I mean is there a way to merge follow me tool with copy/array? or any other way I can copy a chain link along a curved path?

Thank you,

Alexei.

I think you want to get a hold of the copy path plugin. I assume you are trying to do something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsIi4WLOwnY&feature=related

Whoa, that's awesome. Not only a great time saver, but what's with the physics movement thing? Man, I'm out of the loop with sketchup.

The physics thing is sketchy physics. http://code.google.com/p/sketchyphysics/
