Forcing the Intersecting geometry is helping. I should have made the model cleaner and saved myself a lot of work. I am used to using a Boolean operation and just discarding the extra geometry. I have to admit, Sketchup is a quick way to give ideas shape. It has some issues with rounded surfaces though.

Maybe I should try a Follow Me and see if I can get the glass to fill in the way I want it too. Thats a nice lofting tool but it seems to jump around a lot on me while trying to pick the path.

Hello all.

This is my first post here at the sketchup forums.

I've been asked to use sketchup at work to quickly work up a model to help customers visualize their project before it is built. I've had some training in college with 3D modeling but not with Sketchup, I really like it's simplicity.

One project that I'm working on has a passive solar heating system with curved glass. By the nature of glass, I think, I can't seem to trim the edges where I need them or hide some "creative trimming" due to the transparency of the glass.

I could use some tips if anyone has anything to offer. I've loaded the model into the 3D warehouse for anyone who would like to play with it or to see what I'm trying to describe. It's titled Single w/ Passive Solar.

Thanks
