Solid to face
-
Hi
Is there anyway to use push pull to create a face from a solid, i.e. the reverse of it's normal use. The native behavior for this tool is to simply make the solid disappear as soon as it reaches the original starting point. However I need to preserve the face. I know it's possible to do this by selecting individual lines but push-pool or a plugin would be much faster.

A couple of methods come to mind. One would be to double click with Select on the face you want to keep, keyboard shortcut for Copy, triple click on it to select all attached, hit Delete, Edit>Paste in place. Assign a keyboard shortcut for Paste in place to make it faster.
Alternatively, use a right to left selection box around the geometry you wish to remove making sure you don't select the face or its bounding edges. Hit Delete.
Please complete your profile with SketchUp version and operating system. That information helps others help you.
