I agree with remus it is pretty simple using triangle and push/pull tool here is and example how to create one

• my apology, if you want rectangular simply create a rectangular (rectangular or offset tool) instead of triangle and proceed with the same step

Triangle Hole on the face.skp

I believe it is the same thing, when I selected something my is turning blue as well.

Hi cdde!

Curve roof with Followme tool.skp

I check it and my FOV was at about 104 degree and I change it back to 30 and it solve the problem.

Thanks you James

Yeah Gaieus you are right again, I have the same issue my model was under the ground level (I didn't notice it because I have an axis turn off) and when I turn on the shadow view it show strange shadow. Once I move my model up like you suggest it all taking care of.

thanks once again!! You the man Gaieus
p.s. always good to work with your axis turn on and keep an eye on where you place your model

Gaieus was right, I have came across same problem before. I was create a surface and painted it with translucent material and realize that I need to divided them up and create a frame around it. Once I did all that I notice that when I orbit around those surface on the frame I create by drawing a line to divided the original face wasn't look solid. It took me a while to figure it out.

Great work guys lot helpful information here.
