When I try to use tools:utilities:make face I get the error message "(eval):113 uninitiated WWX tool".

Can anyone explain this?

I have downloaded a clock face from 3d warehouse but am finding it difficult to align it correctly to glue it to a clock tower I have drawn. How do I make it co-planar with the face of the clocktower?

Thank you both so much for your suggestions. You have just taught me that I have to approach these designs in a completely different way than if I were actually constructing the item. Thinking as a woodworker, I was struggling to construct a joint on the face of the post and using push/pull to draw the rail out. In Sketchup I realise that I can just 'meld' the rail into the post in the way that you have described. Thanks again!
Incidentally, on the same design I have struggled to place the posts at the points of the octagon. The 3 or 4 inch post would sit half in one sector and half in the next sector, over the 'point' of the octagon . How would you do this - or am I guilty again of whatever is the opposite of lateral thinking?
I am using SK8, the free version, and implementing the component/copy method.

I am trying to draw a gazebo with an octagonal base with a 100mm sq x2400mm high pole set at each point of the octagon. The facing sides of the posts are obviously not aligned with each other due to the octagonal shape, which presents a problem when trying to insert a rail between the posts. Normally, for instance on the legs of a stool, I would of course draw a rectangle on the face of a leg and Push/pull it out to meet the face of the next leg. In the octagonal shape pulling out a rectangle from one pole face would not meet the next pole face. Is there a solution to this? Would I have to draw the pole sction as an irregular polygon so that the faces are parallel to each other? (Messy!! and obviously not accurate in reality)

Many thanks for your replies and your interest. I have removed the license file and now bypass the "expired" screen, but the title line still says "SketchUp Pro - expired". I know this doesn't affect anything, but it bugs me. How do I get rid of this?

Hi I'm a retired pharmacist in the UK and for the past few years I've indulged my passion for cabinet making and general woodwork. I have used a CAD program for some years now, but only in 2D and was really excited when I discovered SketchUp. I tried 6 and liked it and decided to have a look at the trial version of Pro. When that expired I decided to go back to 6, but I cannot lose Pro. I uninstalled both programs and re-downloaded 6, bit every time I open SketchUp 6 now I am told that Pro has expired, with no option to return to 6. How can I lose this?
