GOT IT! It was a case of fixing up the perimeters and intersect faces with selection.

I'm a new sketchup user learning to navigate the software so all the above will be really helpful.

Thanks very much!

Hi all, my first post is a question.

I've imported a text document from illustrator as a .dxf and want to push/pull each letter individually but i'm not sure how to fill the interiors of these letters and allow myself to manipulate them in this way. Is importing as a .dxf the best way? Any advice will be useful.

Thanks!
