Thank you Remus. That was EXACTLY the problem. Worked like a charm, and thanks for the fast answer!

Hey all,

I do have a question, but I thought I'd first just say thanks for all the great tips I've learned just from searching and browsing. In my googling, I kept ending up at this forum and finding the very best answers to my questions. Excellent.

Second, I downloaded the free version because I was exploring a means of generating backgrounds in full perspective for a comic book. I mainly work in Adobe Illustrator from scans of pencils, but drawing the same backgrounds from different angles over and over (and over and over...) as my characters move around and through the same scene was just not working for me. Sketchup is THE solution. I love it. I've gotten all wrapped up in learning the program for its own sake, and to challenge myself, I've started modeling some complex shapes-- like right now I'm working on a mock up of a Fender Jazz bass. (I own one, actually.)

The problem I have right now is that I have a couple of holes in my model that just won't fill! One is a quadrilateral, the other a triangle. Both are so tiny that they only show up as little black dots when edges are not displayed, but they are there.

Other searches indicated that I probably had some lines not quite touching. Check. Managed to find a few of those and fix 'em. The process taught me a lot. Basically I worked at as extreme magnification as the program allowed and just deleted and redrew until the offending line revealed itself. When that failed, I isolated the problem by sort of triangulating in, you know, making ever smaller triangles until I isolated to point that was causing the problem, but these last two holes just won't yield to these approaches.

I could definitely use a tip here!

Cheers,

Rick
