How to create upward fibonacci spiral? – SketchUp


Hello I am trying to create an upward fibonacci spiral.
I found it easy enough to make the spiral on a flat plane,
creating squares of 1,2,3,5,8,13 units and arcs from one to the next.
for the upward spiral I created cubes of 1,2,3,5,8 units etc and I want the
spiral line to arc upward through the cubes…

If anyone has a method for this thanks in advance

You could do this natively with some patience and clever use of intersecting lines vertical from your arc segments…

You might also be able to use the bezier tools plugin – draw each arc and then move the end points where you need them – but I’m not at the computer and don’t remember if that is possible.

This might also help:

Will you be in Ann Arbor this fall?

THanks!!! your reply helped me realize that if I may only have to carefully work out one arc,
then scale it up the curve…
I won’t be at Ann Arbour, I really must come to a conference again!
Our shop gets so busy in the fall, there never seems to be time for anything but timberframing.
Will check out sketchUcation thx.
