    • Total Newbie help please - making a groove in an object...

      Hi All

      I've just started playing with Sketchup and after a lot of confusion initially I'm starting to get the hang of it a bit and can create basic shapes and extrude them etc etc.

      However, I'm currently trying to design a shelf and would like to put a groove in the side of it and am stuggling.

      I thought it would be a a fairly simple procedure

      1. draw a rectangle the size of the shelf.

      2. Pull/Push top of rectangle to give the shelf depth.

      3. Repeat the above with a smaller rectangle to give a piece the size of the groove.

      4. Move the rectangle for the groove into place in the shelf.

      5. select the groove shape and use Edit>intersect with model

      However this doesn't seem to be working.

      So, how do I do it?

      I am using free version which I'm sure will make a difference as the intersect tools are only in the pro version...

      Any help very much appreciated.
