      Hello!
      I'm planning to 3d print this. If you are insterested, that would be used to cut the upper piece of dough of pastafrola (a very common pie in my country you can google images)
      So far I could do this:

      but I don't know how to cut the squares in excess outside the big circle.
      I tried following this tutorial:
      http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/beginner/433-the-basics-of-intersection-in-sketchup
      but with no luck, I think I tried every option and I didn0t get what I wanted.
      Every square is a component and 4 squares and 9 little squares form another component and the circle is also a component.
      How can I do it??
      I'm using sketchup for the second time I don't master it yet.
      I'm using V2016

        For any Print 3D works your volumes must have "thickness" and be "waterproof"!

        Like this!

        Select all your volumes (with thickness) make general Intersection and kill the no necessary faces!
        then use CleanUp by Thomthom and/or Solid Solver by Tig for automatically erase
        "co planar segments" and make your volums ready for 3D Print!
        Volumes have a "bottom face" !

        PS As you are lucky to have the Pro version take a look to the Boolean Functions
        for automatic triming! πŸ˜‰
