Push/Pull Tool Selecting Too Many Faces
-
When I am using the push/pull tool, it selects adjoining faces and I am unsure why. I have checked that all the edges are connected so my face is enclosed. When I go and try to push just that face, it selects almost the rest of the adjoining faces.
In this example, the top image where I trying to use the push/pull tool on the right side of the dining room is behaving correctly. The bottom image where I have selected the left side of the dining room is selecting all the adjoining rooms even though all the edges are connected. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

With your style, you are able to see some bold profile lines for your face, the contour is broken here...

How do you have broken contour lines, and how would I fix it other then re-drawing everything?

The Push/Pull tool can only select one face. It can't select more than one. As cotty alluded to you're missing at least one line segment to divide the walls from the floor.
Attach the SKP file and we can show you.

Well, I got the walls separated from the floor by redrawing some lines that were split and deleting the unneeded line segment that crosses the wall. There are some other lines that ought to be replaced with single lines, too.
You can see the profile edges inside the perimeter disappear and you have just the normal weight lines instead.
Before you extrude the walls, delete the floors or you'll have reversed faces on the walls and missing faces on the bottoms of the walls.
In the future, please just upload files directly using the Upload Attachment tab below the posting window. Those hosting sites such as the one you use are a pain.

I still don't understand how you create the single un-bolded lines? Are those created automatically with the line tool (keyboard shortcut 'L'), or is there some sort of special setting?
-
The "bold" lines are profile edges. It's a setting based on the style you have selected. Normally you only get those profiles around the perimeter. When you see them inside, they indicate that there's a gap in the loop.
All I did to change it was delete those line with endpoints in the middle and redrew them with the Line tool. I deleted and redrew the lines one at a time to make sure I kept neighboring lines for reference.
Just try it and you'll see.

Great, thank you
