You can see the circular object subtracted from cuboid object. ![]() Now i will select circular object first then holding Ctrl click on second object then click on Subtract option. You can define which object will subtract from which object and for that select that object first which you want to subtract and then holding Ctrl button of keyboard click on the second object from which you want to subtract first object. Here in this example you can see this is one object now.Īgain select the objects and click on Subtract option of solid tools.Īnd it will subtract one object from other like this. This will make all selected object as one object and didn’t damage internal geometry (if any) of the selected object. Now select both object again and this time click on Union options of solid tools. For example, here the common area of both objects is this center cuboid shape so it will left after intersecting operation. Intersect operation will give you common area of selected object in the result of intersecting. Now select both object and click on Intersect option of Solid tools. Now i will move these components and overlap them to each other. Then make triple click on first object for selecting it completely then make right click and choose ‘Make Group’ option from drop down list. So for using solid tools on any component you have to first group them. Now i place them like this so that they can overlap to each other and select them then i will click on one of the options of Solid tool panel such as i click on Intersect option.īut it will not apply this operation on these objects because this is open geometry and faces as well as edges of these two objects are not grouped with each other. I will add height to it also by the same way. Now i will take a circle tool from tool panel and draw a circle like this. Now add some height to it with the help of push/pull tool. So take Rectangle tool from tool panel and draw a rectangle like this. So let us understand all the options of this panel one by one.įor exampling you about these options i will create some 3D components. Did you delete it hoping to get rid of an “internal face” that was keeping SketchUp from considering the object to be solid? Or did you draw the object in some way other than push/pull?įinally, because you push/pulled the two parts independently, SketchUp created a face to close the surface of the first one, and that face remains as an internal when you push/pull the second.In this panel you will find one more option which is Outer Shell. Push/pull would normally have created that face. What isn’t obvious is why the little face between the bottom edge of the bar and the top edge of the C is missing. A non-constrained push/pull got close but not quite. Most likely, when you push/pulled the second one you either didn’t double-click to match the first push/pull, or you didn’t hover the cursor over an edge of the first object to tell SketchUp’s inference engine that you want to match it. The puzzle isn’t how come the thickness of the “C” and the “bar” don’t match. ![]() In the interest of education, I’ve been pondering how you might have created the model to get those errors in the first place and how you could avoid them in the future instead of having to fix it afterward. ![]() What should I do with the drawing as it stands right now? Would you please point me to the right direction? I really like to hear your guidance and suggestions. Question is - what should I do to fix this problem? I viewed a few YouTubes and kind of understand a solid should have no seams, stuff like that. Now that I have drawn the board, but the bottom portion has no surface at all - hence it doesn’t make this a solid. And the picture below is up-side-down to illustrate my problem. I started drawing the board in the correct upward position. At any rate, I think I was able to edit the board as a component and drilled holes. It took me a while to understand I must drill hole by editing a component if I had made the component before thinking of drilling holes. I am trying to 3d print a board with some holes in it, as shown in the picture below. I started to use SketchUp mid-summer last year for a simple project and this year I am using it for something slightly more complicated and really appreciate your inputs/insights on what’s the best approach to solve my solid problems going forward.
