also, another, kinda related question...if I want to put in windows that aren't on the same plane as the roof, should I make them seperatly and place them on the existing structure, or should I try to build them in place

TIA

thanks Ecuadorian for the link

I watched http://www.vimeo.com/2254304 to get an idea of what the plugin was about and I'm not sure that is what I need...I'm wondering more about the floor plan and the inside walls rather then the actual roof itself...I've been building them up, then crossing them with a diagonal line, and then push/pulling the extra stuff...is there an easier or better way then doing that?

so I'm trying to SketchUp (is this a verb yet?) a floorplan that has low walls, and a slanted ceiling that peaks in the middle (think a-frame house, but not quite as steep), and am curious about the best way to go about it...any and all advice is appreciated

TIA

Using the select tool (looks like an arrow), select the surface and hit delete on your keyboard.

Either that or I'm really not understanding the problem.

that seemed to work...thanks Jeff!

see if this works...here is a top and bottom view...I'm trying to make the red box an opening

how do I post an image or screen shot to show you what I mean??

First of all. Forgot that stairs and start with basics. Draw walls put holes(windows and doors) in there.

You mean this?

kinda...i can do what your picture shows, but I'm trying to put a hole in the floor of an existing rectangle (that hasn't been pushed/pulled)

Hello...new to this forum and SU as well...I am SUing a two story house an was looking for some tips...the first has to do with the two floors...I have built them seperatly, then placed one on top of the other. Is this the best way to do this, or should I be using another process...my other problem has to do with an oppening for stairs...how do I put an oppening in the floor of the second story/ceiling of the first story for the stairway? I have tried to give the floor/ceiling value and then push/pull it, but that doesn't seem to work.
I'm sure I'll have many more questions soon

TIA
