Why can't the lines make a face from floor plan?
-
I imported a floor plan for a two-storey house and was drawing lines trying to make faces for push/pull tool to form walls but somehow some lines I drew just were able to make a face! I could use rectangle tool instead but just want to know why...

One reason could be the imported drawing has edges that do not exactly meet or intersect. Also ome CAD drawings are 3d and though it's not clear in a 2d projection some edges don't lie on the same plane exactly. Sometimes minuscule inaccuracies are not detected by SketchUp. They look right in SU but really there is no intersection making a closed shape. SU has some trouble deciding what is coplanar and what is not. For example performing intersect faces on a face will only catch part of all the faces that abutt that face. Nothing's perfect.
