You can search it from the Google 3D Warehouse. It has nearly everything you need.
Curves are difficult to do. In Google 3d sketch the user is expected to create a polygon shape of what they are trying to make. After making that shape you can highlight the areas of surface u wish 2 make curved, u would proceed to right click and choose "smooth shape" or something along those lines
(please excuse me not having the exact term I’m not in front of my G sketchup right now)
The computer would then create a basic co-planer curved shape based on the angles of the planes in ur polygon.
The best thing to clarify this example for you is to open up a template of a sphere. Google 3d sketch has one by default. Then upon opening up this template press control+A in order to highlight everything. Then u can right click on the highlighted sphere and choose the "smooth control"
U will see that u will be able to make that sphere turn back into the original polygon shape that it came from
If u still don’t understand I can give u a image by image example of what I mean.
As the first poster said, concave and compound curves are not all that easy in Sketchup. I designed my yacht and was it hard!
If you wan’t to draw cars for a game, go to my tutorials site http://pctutorials.at3host.com and go to the software/3d software section. There’s a special program there for designing vehicles for games like Need for Speed. You will also find other programs more suited to drawing curves on the same pages. All programs are free.
