@Dave-R said in Cut through roof:
Explode the vertical face, use Edit>Cut to cut it to the clipboard, open the roof group for editing, hit Edit>Paste in place. Then select all, use Intersect Faces>With Selection and erase the unwanted stuff.
Thank you !
@Dave-R said in Cut through roof:
No need for a plugin. Just select all of the geometry, right click on it, choose Intersect Faces>With Selection and then erase the part you want to keep.
Roof is group ... vertical face is group.
Can I select all as is ... or should I explode then first ?
What is the best / easiest way to cut the roof off at the vertical plane I put in,
want to keep the front part.
Is there a plugin that would do this ? ( SU ver 8 )
Would this plugin show only extensions that would work with my old version of Sketchup 8 ?
All my programs are on my C:drive.
Created / saved files go to a folder on a larger D:drive.
Old habit I guess.
@Rich-O-Brien said in Components do not save:
Components live within a file unless explicitly saved to a dedicated location.
Creating a component within a file does not automatically add them to an external library.
Uhhh ... makes sense, and I surely missed it.
Thank you !!!
Yesterday I made a few components, and they appeared in the components list. I could drag them into the drawing.
Today ... no where to be found on my machine.
The folder I had created and was saving to is empty.
Tried making a few today on a new file.
Results are the same, they show up in component list when created ... I can bring them into the drawing, but they are not being saved to the folder.
Help !
@Dave-R said in Component confusion:
@danna Look at the orientation of the axes in my screenshot.
Give the component gluing in the Create Component panel.
I had tried glue vertical before, but was having trouble setting correct axis.
Thanks ... working now.
