Very nice. I like the zero entry front door. Is it zero entry from the garage?

If you object's overall size is not an exact multiple of the spacing & thickness [allowing for the last-most slice/gap], then this will occur.
It looks like the start/end gaps are 1/2 a gap ?

Also choosing to centralize the slice can exacerbate this result - try centralizing the gap ?
You can also tweak the start/end insets to adjust the sliced result.

Supplying the model would help us see what's what...

It has a toolbar and also submenu entries under Extensions > Extrusion Tools...
Have you restarted SketchUp to sync everything ?
It works fine in newer versions of SketchUp.
If you start SketchUp with the Ruby Console previously activated, do you see any error messages ?

Lovely.

Yes.
Make the non-auto-updating SectionCutFace unLocked and choose a material/color that's already used in the model [from a list].
A SCF's material applies to all faces, but you can edit the group and apply any material to any face etc...

Full Blender is what I learned. I think it was Blender 2.6 I started with which had a horrible UI.

If you get stuck just holla

You could make a template or if you Have Fredo Portait it can store camera positions

Depends on your comfort levels. If you are happy in your SketchUp box then pull up a chair and get comfy.

If you want to explore other avenues then poke around.

I like my SketchUp and Blender combo. I can do some things 10x faster in Blender and vice versa.

It's worth adding that there's a very high frustration wall you encounter at first with Blender. Especially if you apply the SketchUp philosophy in terms of how 3D should work.

Blender follows convention whilst SketchUp is about ease of use. In SketchUp you draw whilst in Blender you model.

You cannot compare the apps because one is a conceptual design tool whilst the other is 3D pipeline.

I like both.

I'll be a SketchUp user until I hang my hat. But having a good foundation in Blender means I can tackle more projects that SketchUp just couldn't manage.

@Gus-R said in Wire Wheels 1967 Alfa Romeo:

Probably the most complicated software I've ever used.

It will click and then you'll have SketchUp's best companion.
