Hi, I just noticed Kurt that when I push the waste part back with the push/pull tool it leaves the little black lines where the tongue was and I can't delete them, is it possible to delete these or am I looking at a different method such as a boolean plugin.

thanks again
Acestu

Hi, I have just used sketchup 8 for the first time to design a timber summerhouse.

I have made a wooden frame and then made some tongue and groove boards and set them as a component, however the last piece hangs over the edge so i need to trim it.

I beleive that i have to make it unique first but after that I am not sure how to do it, which is why I am posting a pic of it for you guys..

thanks in advance
Acestu
