Designing border patterns for bowls?

[gasmansteve]

Yes thanks again Dave for your help and advice. I`ll try all the options you suggest and will indeed checkout SU8 pro as it seems an amazing package :lol:

xy - thanks for the info I`ll check that out too, turning into more of a dance than I originally thought :lol:

Cheers
Steve

gasman, I tried out the application mentioned in the link I sent. I don't doubt that it will work, but it is no walk in the park setting it up. It is certainly not a simple click operation.
DaveR mentions importing an image into Sketchup and then tracing, this is something I have done with a sketch of a turned pillar. I am far from being a Sketchup wiz but I found the process reasonably quick and easy.

Cheers for that xy I`ll try and have a go later. I had an inkling that what I was planning was going to more involved than I originally thought
