Hello to everyone! I am new here and to SU and I am relly starting to like this program. I do have a question though, I made a simple building with four walls that I made 8 inches thick to resemble a cynder block wall. I had to cut the door myself because of the wall style. I would like to change their location but cant seem to make the wall solid again. Any ideas or do I just hve to start from scratch again? Thanks to everyone that helps.

It sounds like you just need to trace over one of the edges of the door to create that face again, then just delete the old edges.

Hi Alan and welcome to SCF.
I have added a very quick and dirty video explaining a few simple methods of achieving what you want.

Dylan, that was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much! I do have another question if I may ... What I am building, or playing with, is a garage that is pretty standard. I built the lower level with the door openings which looks like what you showed in your video, but topped it with a 1 foot thick roof. That will be the thickness of some gluelam beams to support the second floor loft. Here is my question, I accidently moved that one foot tall section, I made it a component, now I cant seem to place it back on top of the walls exactly where it was. Is there a way to set it back down exactly even with the walls or start from scratch. Im getting really fast at making new walls HAHAHAHA I guess its the only real way to learn repitition. Anyway and help on this ???

You should be able to grab the roof by a corner with the Move tool and snap it the corner of the garage below using the inference engine, or am I not understanding your question.
If it has an overhang, snap to the corner as I suggested, then move the roof component the required distance along the x and y plane. -
Dylan, thanks I will give that a try and let you know how it works out. There is no over hang just a rectangle the same size as the building below. I still have a lot to learn with the axis tool and inference engine thing.
