    Sorry Dave,

    It was not my intention to discourage you from important work. I also expect to a question no lightning-like response. I am happy if I get some time for a response. I know that there are more important things than Sketchup. I now have a bit more time, since I'm retired.

      Turn off perspective then pick one of the standard views and use a left-to-right bounding box selection technique.

      Best,

        Hi Jason,

        thanks for your tip. But I still can not catch all the polygons.

          Charly, I would intersect a surface with the shape at the point where I want to cut it, as it appears you have. Then I would set up the standard view and parallel projection. A right to left selection box made so it just misses the cutting plane should select most if not all of the stuff you want to get rid of. Look closely for any remaining edges and delete those either manually or zoom in closer and make additional selections.

          By the way, no worries about me putting off more important work. I only respond here on the forum when I do have time. I'm glad to actually have that time now, though.

            Intersect is easier.

                Yeah I got the right to left thing mixed up 😳 -- I have a hard time with right and left, when somebody asks directions I always use east, west, north, and south... which drives my wife nuts.

                I think it's a byproduct of being semi-ambidextrous.

                Solid tools are the fastest, but I assumed you didn't have those.

                  No worries, Jason.

                  You're right about the Solid tools although with something like this applique piece, there's a good chance you'd spend a lot of time cleaning it up just to make it show as a solid group/component.

                    Solid tools are the fastest but a model that is not solid will not work, so going back to the old intersect method works.
