Hey, brand new to SketchUp and haven’t figured out how to even word this issue specifically to search for any previous answers to it, or I wouldn’t be posting this. I just want to offset this square face between the octagons, but when I do, the octagons edges drag with it and warp them. I don’t know how to separate those edges. I just want to adjust this square between them to create say, an inset square nested in it, or to create a centered column below it, but I can’t figure out how.
To help achieve your goals, some time spent at the SketchUp Campus and at the SketchUp - YouTube channel will be very worthwhile. Both sites are from the SketchUp team. On the YouTube channel, pay attention to the Square One Series. It covers the basics for each tool.
