Can't Perform Flowify
-
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.@pilou said:
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!
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!
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?
)) But it's fun, at least some progress.
