Intersection automatically deletes part of cone face. WHY??
-
Hi,
when i intersect a plane to the cone, part of the cone's face got deleted automatically. why is that happening? they are fine as two, but when i selected the two and "intersect face with model", part of the cone gets deleted.
i am trying to cut out part of the cone parallel to the blue axis. any advise is appreciated. thanks.John

Your model is very small. SketchUp has problems with creatingfaces with edges less than a millimetre or about 1/16".
Scale the whole thing up by 10 or even 100 (what I did) and do the intersection that way. You can scale it back afterwards as SU can maintainfaces already created.

hey, that worked. thanks. didn't know there is limitations to the size.

Well, now you know.
If you usually model such tiny things, best is to get used to model them in a larger scale from the beginning. Metric users are luckier as mm, cm or m are multiplied decimally so it is easier to do this.
