I'm a Newbie using SketchUp 8 (Free). When I enter 3D text, it takes on the appearance of the line work that I've selected for the model under Styles. For instance, it has extended lines, which I don't want. How can I get it to display a standard-looking font? Thank you.

Hi, newbie city planner here. Just started using SketchUp and love it for my work. Question: I imported a pair of DWG files consisting of (a) parcel lines and (b) building footprints. Is there a way to quickly turn all those footprint lines into edges and then create faces so I can Pull them into buildings? Can I select and Pull all the footprint faces at once? Those stesp would save me hours. Thank you for your help. Bill from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
