Now that all the tools available for non-watertight detection and correction have been looked at, a couple of tools that are not directly intended for geometry correction, but can be helpful anyway, will be introduced.
Separate Solids and Canopies Tool
Refer to the Separate Solids And Canopies Tool section.
This tool traverses the current SketchUp model and separates Solid geometry from Canopy geometry. More precisely, any geometry that passes watertight-validation is put on the vwPlugin_Solid SketchUp Layer; any geometry that fails is put on the vwPlugin_Canopy Layer.
Although mostly intended for Exporting purposes, this tool is handy during geometry correction as a quick way to determine how much has been done and how much is still left to do. In a way, it performs similarly to the Show Non-Watertight Geometry Tool, but presents its results differently.
Display All Tool
![]() |
This tool unhides all geometry in the model. It is most useful after performing actions like Show Non-Watertight Geometry or any of the Check for Watertightness Tools, as these all operate by hiding (often large) sections of the model.
The Display All Tool operates over the entire model, regardless of any current selection or the currently active Group.
