Push/pull double click wrong direction
-
Are you 100% sure these faces are both oriented the same way ?
View in Monochrome mode.
Materials and Textures on faces can mask poorly oriented faces... -
I absolutely guarantee you that they are facing the correct way. I always model in front/back/monochrome view.
-
As I think has already been noted, software does not act randomly. The problem is that sometimes the logic is obscure and confusing. SketchUp has some "helpful" behaviors such as always orienting a new face at z=0 so that the "front" faces downward, and automatically creating a "hole" when pushpulling a face that is inset in another face, having a hidden sign to the direction of pushpull, etc. The interaction of these behaviors can be quite confusing, but it isn't random.
-
I get this behavior from time to time too, I believe is somehow user related.
-
I just recorded it happening. The second push/pull operation is a double click. You can see the correct face orientation on the first, and the distance typed, and the direction.

No ideas?

Got it happening again in another model...

See, I'm not going mad. This behavior happens.

Just in case you are going mad, I join you.
Nevertheless, no amount of "you must be doing..." or "it can't happen" is going to change the fact that Yes it does happen.

It's there and is probably predictable (but the causes are also probably too complex for mere mortals to pin down).
-
I, too, am having this issue, and it happens pretty consistently in 2016, doesn't happen at all in 2015. If not everybody is having the problem, could it be a PC vs Mac thing? I'm on a Mac. Are the others of you having this issue all on Macs? I haven't checked this out on Sketchup.com, but that's where I'm going next.

know this post has been around awhile, thought I'd chime in that I see the same odd behavior at times. it does seem totally random and unpredictable. Example would be creating a frame and panel look to a wall, recessing panels 1/2" ,running a wall same axis ,double clicking away and viola it pulls a panel instead of pushing. Also seems to occasionally not erase a face when punching holes in walls. no predictability may go weeks without issues than problems pop up in a model . go figure. exit the tool and go back to push pull and everything o.k.?

If anybody is interested, here's a link to the thread started by my post on this subject on the Sketchup Community forum. While the issue isn't totally "solved," I'm satisfied with the answers I got from the SketchUp team, and particularly some of John's explanations were quite helpful. http://forums.sketchup.com/t/2016-push-pull-double-click-pulls-in-opposite-direction/23140
