Jacob Samuel develops Bezier Curve Manager. It is a useful sketchup extension that supports only sketchup 2015 as well as Mac & Windows platforms.

Insert a Bezier Curve to the Sketchup model based on four control points. A four points Bezier curve can be expressed with the equation: P (i) = P0 (1-i)3 + P1 3 i (1-i)2 + P2 3 i2 (1-t) + P3 i3 where the interval - i - runs from 0 to 1. The Bezier Spline plugin created by Fredo6 on SketchUcation.com is a set of tools to create bezier curves easily. As SketchUp does not come with a good option for. Here are the best free CAD software tools (2D/3D CAD programs) for beginners, intermediates, and advanced users. Do you need free CAD software?

It contains a wide array of tools to deal with nonrational (and rational Bezier curves. In order to turn on tools/icons, the users have to choose a nonrational (bezier-curve-tool) as well as rational Bezier Curve (rational-bezier-curve-tool) which are accessible in the Tools menu and in the right mouse button context menu and in view>toolbars under Bezier Curve Manager.
