      Why are my arches not highlighted? I need to push/pull them individually but cant get them highlighted to do so. Whats wrong?

        Hi Jay and welcome.

        What I would suspect from this image is that there are no faces at all between those lines. If they are coplanar*at all (which I cannot tell from this angle), you could try "healing" the faces by redrawing the small, straight segments on the sides.


        *Faces can only be created by a closed loop of coplanar edges i.e. edges on the same plane.

            Under the text area, when posting, there is a tab for attachments (see image)

                Some of the edges are not coplanar. See attached file where I used the text tool do display the co-ordinates of some endpoints.

                I'd deinitely start over. Draw a big reactangle first which you can use as a drawing board making sure that all the edges are drawn on the same plane.

                      Fine! 😄

                      Still you may wish to delete some extra geometry (see what I selected "inside") and orient your faces correctly (only the whites showing outside).

                        I dont know if I still have some coplaner issues here, but I am trying to cover the surface of the large box to make it look like elevated terrain so I can color it in with grass.

                          Coplanar??? Have a look at this image!

                          Selecting all the surrounding edges and running "From contour" from the Sandbox tools will create a surface however.
