Stuck!!!

Hi and welcome!
Make sure your styles toolbar is on by going to VIEW > TOOLBARS and making sure STYLES is ticked.
On this toolbar are 7 options for how your model appears. It is likely you have clicked on "x-ray". Click on "Shaded" or "Shaded with textures" to get your model back to how you want to view it.
If there are no edges on, turn them on clicking VIEW > EDGE STYLE > EDGES.

thanks leedeetee,
have tried that but model still remains the same, faces are kind of there but translucent
-
Could you upload the model?
-
Post a screenshot showing your styles settings and layers
-
oh Gawwwwwwdd
Cheers guys,
how do i upload a model? can i do it to this site?
-
there's an upload button under the reply box when replying. files must be 4mb or less
-
-
Try setting Camera to Perspective, View Extents, then zoom in on your model.
Don't know why it was like that though.
-
Ah easy as that!
It worked, all back to normal.
I suspect strong case of 'user error' may have been the culprit!Thanks guys

You have a 2d plan floating nearly 4 million mm's above the house
Delete it or move it down within the earth's weather system
-
Came back from making a hot chocolate to find your sorted. Nice one.
-
yes will do,
I know its there just moved it out the way when i was modelling the stairs
again chaps cheers
-
Excellent! enjoy the hot chocolate.

SketchUp doesn't like things way off in the distance. Bring that plan down and reorganize the layer to help with visibility
Hope you plan to run that off

The 2d import is located very far above z=0, which doesn't help... BUT the 2d plans were obviously imported from a CAD file [dwg/dxf?] and they contain some rogue geometry that's miles off.
If you edit that component [double-click it], then use edit > 'select all' [ctrl+A], and then deselect the visible parts by using select+fence whilst holding shift+ctrl, then press 'delete', the 'unseen' CAD file's rogue geometry that's a zillion miles away [and totally useless to you anyway] is removed... then the whole thing works OK with the wall faces displaying properly etc etc.
The extents of the model were so distorted by this issue that SUp couldn't properly calculate the visible geometry, so faces went weird...
