When erasing lines....
-
Let's say we have a plane divided by a line.... On one side you have one texture and on the other side you have another texture.
How does sketchup decides which texture is going to keep (once you erase the diving line).
I have been wondering about this since sketchup 4.5 ( @ last anyone? )... but some how I keep forgetting to ask
thanks!

good question lol wondered that myself!

Now I won't sleep!

OK! So far it's the top one and the one on the right.
Thought it would be the first or last, which would make more sense.
See what you did?
Still working on it. -
I believe it is related to how the faces are created and their orientation to the global axis.
If you redraw the line you are erasing from the other direction you will get the other texture.
Draw a face and copy it, split one with a line front to back and the other with a line back to front, colour left face of both red and right face green, remove the splits and one will be red and the other green.
I'm sure someone like Tig can explain the mathematics of how the model decides the orientation of the faces, but it's way beyond me. -
Ha, This brings me to my next question... is there a plugin that does the following:
If one side has a material and the other side has the default material... to automatically chose the new material.OR
If one side is larger than the other one... the material should be from the larger side. At least this is what makes sense to me. lol

The biggest area wins.

Yep, that's what I have acknowledge sometime ago too! There were some few exceptions but nothing significantly!
