      @Krass said in Tools on surface not working:

      the line tool doesn't work

      Can you expand on this? Is it that the enclosed area is not selectable?

            SketchUp has limitations healing edges when they are below 1mm. Are you encountering that limit?

            If yes, scale the object 10 - 100x and try drawing.

              yes you are right! I forgot to scale the object... But at the end, I did it manualy

                I enlarged it by a factor of 100, but it doesn't work.

                  Actually, it works better; I tested it elsewhere and the rectangle isolated the face well.

                    In 90% of edges not healing or holes not filling or missing it is edge size.

                    If you are importing scans it is best to x100 the scale to avoid this behaviour.

                      I often work with a scale of 1000x. I can treat millmeters as meters that way.
