Fill for walls in plan

[schaferron1]

In section some of my walls do not fill. Am I building these walls wrong?

Thanks,

Probably not. Try posting a file and pictures of a good result, and a bad one. Maybe someone will have an idea what's up.

the blue are filled walls the areas clouded in red should be filled with blue

Thanks,

This is in Sketchup then, not Layout. How did you make the section "fill"? with a plugin? The Section tool itself does not create a fill. I am guessing (without a file to look at) that you are seeing some blue back faces in some areas and not in others. It is not necessarily a wrong way in making the walls, but somehow some of your walls are on carpet textured faces and some sit over blue faces.

Try TIG'S "Section cut face" plugin for a section fill. It gives you more control.

Or, if you like the way you are doing it. Intersect the faces under the wall (or whatever it takes to create a separate face there) and make a blue back face.

I would bet that pbacot is right. I think I saw this as a solution for faking filled section cuts some time ago. See picture...

Ron, there seems to be some confusion. Is this a question about using LayOut or SketchUp?

If it is a SketchUp thing I'll move it to SketchUp Discussions.

In SketchUp, when I use section cuts I use TIG's Add Section Cut Face plugin.

Thanks for all the input! I will get TIG's plugin. I think pbacot is right I am seeing the inside of the wall.

Dave, yes, this is a SU issue.

thanks,

Ron

Yes, you are seeing inside the walls. I thought that was abundantly clear.

I'll move this post to SketchUp Discussions but I would ask you to edit the title since it has nothing to do with LayOut 3.
