Yes. The sandbox tools make the complex curves very easy. When I get a topographic survey from an engineer with all the contour lines set at elevation, I simply load those into sketchup-highlight them and use the sandbox tool. It automatically triangulates between all the contour lines to make the 3-D mesh. They did a similar thing in making the car by drawing the countours of the car and using the sandbox tool to triangulate between them.
