Help repairing 2d model
-
Hello,
I've been using Sketchup Pro for around 12 years for landscape design. In the last few months, I've been having trouble closing faces on 2d base plans, and I don't know why this is happening after years without problems. Might someone be willing to have a look at the file and see what's going on? I've attached the file, and here's an alternative link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/iwshkr9ux2j3zig7cdim6/Soderquist-base-plan-try.skp?rlkey=ismuv9txnhf5b538hcuw2dlxl&dl=0
Thanks so much!
B.

Try flattening it first. If you look at a side view of the plan in parallel projection you can see that the line work is in different elevations. I use Vertex Tools to flatten but I know there's other techniques which someone else around here can describe. Flatten then put it all back at Z = 0.

Go to Extension Warehouse and search for "Eneroth Flatten to Plane." Use that. Just tested it and it work like a charm.

Thank you, @Gus R. That did take care of most of the issues. I'm puzzled as to why this has been happening to me recently; I didn't change my work sequence. Sure helps to have a corrective tool. All the best to you. B.

Hard to tell what caused it. I did a site plan which was just a quick tracing of an existing site plan and then made the mistake of plotting a PDF in perspective instead of parallel projection and the whole thing was off. A slight perspective view might throw things off. Any little object with a positive or negative z value.
I use flatten.lsp in Autocad to flatten all line work most of the time. This is especially useful when you're drawing over a survey with topography that can be thousands of feet above the ground plane. Even a 3D door will do the same when snapping lines. I'm still old school with Autocad using what's basically a modern version of Autocad 15 and 20 years old. Works great.
Non-planar faces in Sketchup can also create a mess.
