      Hi All, I'm brand new to Sketchup - I just started using it today. I've got some tutorials up and they've been helping, but I hit a snag that I can't find the answer to online.

      I'm working on layout the basement of my new house and i have all of the dimensions correct, but I can't push/pull the outside wall. Actually, I can't even select the outside wall as an interactive area. I believe it's got something to do with how I made it. I've got 2 sets of thick lines as the outside walls. They're the foundation walls so I liked that they were thicker than the rest, but I can't move them.

      I can't figure out what I did wrong, or what to do to fix it. I've attached a screenshot.
      Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks!

            Draw over a few more edges, making faces form, until there are no thick edges remaining.
            Delete any dividing edges you don't want.
            The faces should then PushPull as you hope...

                For clean walls use Fredo Tool for see the false segments! (Mark Vertices)
                So erase the 3 false long segments and redraw them
                Then Make face (with the 2 "red lines")
                Then Extrude by Push Pull!
                Et voilΓ ! πŸ˜„
                Ps Kill the Guide points! πŸ˜‰
