Hey, welcome to the forums. You should post some pictures of your stages.

Welcome to the forums buddy. i would like to see your stages .

[atkins322]

Here is one stage I created yesterday, took me about an hour and 20 minutes to make, but I had to scale it up by 250 times its original size

Welcome to our lovely abode also you created that stage in 20 min. dang that's awsome. Did you use skethup?

[atkins322]

Yes I use sketchup to do my stages then I export them to blender to create .b3d files .

I didn't even know blender would export it in .b3d, I use fragmotion, but my version of sketchup is the pro 8 version.

Here is another screenshot of another level I created, I am good at creating loop de loops but some toss sonic out of them while others work perfectly

Wait how do you make loop de loops??!!

[atkins322]

In sketchup, I create a circle, then use the offset tool to create a smaller circle inside that circle, then I use the line tool to draw a line and create a quarter section, then I erase the other sections of the circle until I have just the quarter section left, then I use the pull me tool to extrude the section, then use the selection to select the top and bottom of the extruded quarter to stretch it into a helix type shape, then I copy that exact part then rotate it to make an extra part to attach to that part, I do this until I have 4 sections to complete the loop

So your not using any plugins for this? Also I tried this, but I got lost at the stretch it into a helix shape part. I then tried making the half circle with the angle tool then used the pull tool, and finally the move pull to put it into shape, and all I got was a hard to move shape, mind making a video (you can use a free recorder called bandicam for that if you don't want to spend any mone) or a picture tutorial, possibly even make a thread in the help section.

Yes, I could do that
