      Hi I have just drawn my 1st Sketchup 3D model, it is of a large industrial building. I haven;t started the windows and doors etc yet. I have a problem one that I will try to describe here.

      When I use the Orbit command and rotate around the model, parts of the building have these big openings in them! Only in some views the wall faces are solid (grey).

      Please take a look at the attached file, perhaps someoen can tell what it is that I am doing wrong?

      Thanks.

        Hi, and welcome. 😛

        Your building is 12500m high. Are you sure you need a building with the top in the stratosphere? 😕 Oxygen becomes scarce up there, you know. Please scale it to a more real size and the problem will be solved.
        Use this technique:

        I highly recommend watching all the basic videos:

        Here's your model after being scaled by a factor of 1/1000, to a more credible height of 12.5m:
