Face won't reverse
-
What am I doing wrong here. I've got a component and I can't reverse just a few of its faces.
-
My bet is that the problem was cause by the size of your model. I made a component and scaled it up and then deleted that part of the model.
-
It might be a problem with the settings on your computer because I was able to reverse the faces just fine. I have SU8PRO. if you have access too sketchup on another computer try it.
-
I zoomed in on the reversed triangles of you model, selected one face and hit delete several times, removing all but the last face, then it reversed just fine. I have had that problem before and found that somehow I had created additional coplanar surfaces. Once erased the remaining face responds properly

This "several coplanar faces overlaid sharing one set of edges" has been reported before.
Some sort of tolerance issue in v8 ?
You can try grouping everything affected and immediately exploding it; or selecting the geometry and 'intersecting with selection'- to see if the jolt merges the faces... Otherwise deleting faces till only one remains is the solution...
The group - expolde method worked for me. There are a couple of internal 'partition' faces to erase and then it's a manifold solid, which has faces reversible and en mass orientable too...

Some sort of tolerance issue in v8 ?I've experienced this since I started using SketchUp - version 6.
CleanUp has a feature that tries to find and erase duplicate/overlapping faces.

John, before you get finished with this component, you might want to adjust the edges of that end face. Take a look at the two scenes in the attached file. The guideline runs along the edge at the end of the slope. Notice the edges of the end aren't coplanar. I expect this is a big reason for the triangulation required to get the surface to fill.
I fixed it by replacing extending the round part and slicing it off with a cutting plane.
Edit: I moved this thread because it isn't a bug.
