I tried the 'utilities/Query tool' instead, I think from Smustard, but for some reason I did not think of using it to verify co-planarity in this case. Thanks for the hint on the text tool, I was not aware it gives coordinates. This is bad behaviour, as inferences do not allow the user to 'get close', they are supposed to be spot on. It should be Sketchup's job to do the joining in the same plane. But I still feel like protesting to the Sketchup designers, as it is not up to me to 'get close enough to them' when joining two edges based on point or edge inferences. I understand your advice and will do my best to heed. I do not understand why Sketchup does not have some built in tolerances so as to allow slight deviations from the co-planar requirement, and why it will not connect all lines which seem to be ending very near to each other, especially since they were all created with the 'Endpoint' inference lighting up when drawn.Īlso, I am running Sketchup 2014 on Widnows XP. I also tried scaling up the model, even though its sides are several meters long in normal scale, buy with no luck. I have tried the 'utilities/Create face' plugin, the 'Suforyou/Make faces' plugin, the 'Weld' plugin, and the last one I tried - but it very often crashes Sketchup - is the 'Edge Tools2/find edge gaps / close all edge gaps' plugin. I tried the 'styles>edges colored by axis' and at least some of the edges which do not get faces appear to be aligned with the axes, so they are coplanar. Problem is, Sketchup does not put faces on all 4(or more)-edged enclosed loops. I am still drawing walls and roof, no windows or doors yet. I am making a simple model of a house - 4 walls, 2 gables, 2 dormers (one with a balcony). I'm sure you have seen plenty of newbies asking this question, but I haven't been able to find an answer.
