      Hi -

      I have an 3D sketchup model from a surveyor which is made up of several hundred triangles, all of which are interconnected. However, the faces defined by the triangles have no fill, so the faces are not defined. Is there a tool (ruby script, perhaps) that would allow me to select-all then automatically generate faces where possible?

      Thanks -

        If this is a SketchUp model, first make sure the face style isn't set to Wireframe. If it isn't and you still have no faces, there are several make Faces plugins. I've used this one with success. There are others.
