Rectangle tool
-
Is it possible to inadvertently change a setting on the rectangle tool so that it just makes narrow rectangles or lines? I was drawing walls using the rectangle tool, and adjusting the rectangles so that they were all 6" thick. shortly thereafter, I could not use my rectangle tool to draw random-size rectangles anymore. i hadn't drawn much on that file to date, so i don't think the issue was hidden or nested items, as i read as a possible reason elsewhere. the only way i could "fix" it was by closing the file unsaved and opening a new one. the rectangle tool now works again. i can't use that as a solution for a more involved file, though ...any insights as to what i did the "ruin" the rectangle tool on that file? thanks!

There are no settings for the native 'Rectangle' tool in SketchUp.
Drawing (new) rectangles may be constrained to existing geometry, that's all.
You can force it to draw another arbitrary sized rectangle and then type its actual dimensions followed by [Enter]. -
Ok, thx. Still leaves me wondering what happened to my rectangle tool in that file, though!
