![]() I now look back and kick myself, yet it is a part of learning. Kendall, I have not read all of the comments below, however, I have heard similar feedback and had similar gripes when I first started using Sketchup. Once you will master avoiding those little frustrating glitches, your life will be so great! Goodluck and remember that every software have their little glitches. in 99.9999% of the time, when I struggle on something, the problem is between my two ears.and finally, never, ever, ever, ever trust a line that you didn’t draw yourself or come from another software. ![]() I often rather erase and start again then try to fix a very stubborn geometry.This way I’m sure my movement are always the same. I use only those lines for mirror, copy and reference. Per example, when I start drawing, I create guide lines that remains for all my project. Be sure that ALL your source references are 100% accurate.Be sure that ALL your actions are 100% accurate.Group your cad import and never use its lines.No offence, I think everybody agree that we all went through this. You need to re-learn how to draw, but in SU. You think Autocad, but this workflow will give you tons of problems. It toke me a while to swallow it but I had to stop speaking English (Acad) and start speaking French (SketchUp). 99% that is what it is for everyone, me included. So don’t stress when we say operator error. I now don’t do any import of ACAD files except for remodels where I have an ACAD file and topographic surveys for site modeling. I can find many instances wher drafter errors lead to a nightmare creating a face in SU - like a corner where the lines don’t meet by a minuscule amount. Only import Acad files you are absolutely sure have been drafted carefully. ![]() I make the very change you mention often and it takes seconds to modify (literally 11 7/8 - 14). That way one geometry edited doesn’t affect another elsewhere. To make them workable for quick changes you should have very roof plane in it’s own group. However you need to take the grouping further. This is great and exactly what should be done.
