      I was learning from a youtube tutorial about making a space truss and was exactly following until I couldn't perform Flowify, and I noticed that in the tutorial the guy click on this (little square with a shadow) before clicking on Flowify, does it make a difference? What's this plug-in then and why isn't my flowify working? Please help. Thanks.

        Thank you so much! I appreciate very much of your specific answer! Just solved this problem and moving forward, turned out it was the five groups that I didn't make enough. You were quite right, I didn't make Group 2 and 4! Heaps of thanks!!
        BTW, is there any courses that you recommend me to take? I want to learn Sketchup modeling for a building with curved surfaces and maybe export to Unreal Engine for visualization. Are there any good training courses online or even maybe some designer degree that I can sign up for? I'd like to skip the basics cuz I've got them pretty much covered from learning here and youtube tutorials.

        The lttle cube with a shadow is not a Plugin!
        It'a native function of the Tools Bar Shadows of SketchUp for enable / Disable Shadows
        (from Location & Month / Day hours)
        Flowify can work with or without Shadows! πŸ˜‰

        Better if you post your SKP file (save as format "V 6") for a more large audience!
        Put also the adress of the video!

        From your alert message seems it's the "2 lines connection" who are missing! πŸ˜‰

        Here the concept : make the groups like this
        Group 1 = surface (Whitout hole) can be anything but "four sides"
        Group 2 = (2 straight lines)
        Group 3 = entiere wall (whithout hole)
        Group 4 = G1 + G2 + G3
        Group 5 = flat window (or any volume) not obliged to be pasted to the surface!

        You select all
        Call Flowify
        "Projected window" is drawn (or any 3D volume)

        Here 2 examples : with a flat window (on the right, with a simple box on the left up corner)

        This are surfaces 4 sides fine working with Flowify!

          My space truss is done! Only it's black tube, instead of white... Shall I do Reverse Face before doing everything else or something? πŸ˜„)) But it's fun, at least some progress.
