i imported cad file into sketchup and tried the eneroth face creator, and it wont cover everything as like the line isnt connected to the face, can anyone help i need to finish this quickly
eneroth.skp (4.7 MB)
I can’t open the SKP right now, but I expect that the edges in the imported DWG have issues preventing them from having faces associated with them.
For edges to take a face there are number of areas to consider.
Are there are least 3 connected edges that are coplanar ?
If you draw a new diagonal line across them does an edge form ?
If the edges are coplanar are there any tiny gaps that result in a discontinuous loop ?
Are there any small pieces of edges joining an otherwise good loop this will prevent face formation.
These kinds of issues often result from ‘sloppy’ CAD work where face formation is not the aim.
You might be better off drawing a series of faced rectangles and edges over the DWG’s contents’ [group/component] - that way they’ll be sure to be right…
the cad is from someone else who asked me to make 3d from the file, what can i do to fix this now?
Use the rectangle tool to make a rectangle along the outside edges of the plan. Use the line tool to make edges next to the open areas. Then use reverse faces.
Because that’s how it is. Make sure the drawing is done correctly.

the face is not separated between lines so the face that i make with this way wont intersect between lines
how do i fix it if it becomes like this? can you help fixing it?
You have allready been told how you should fix it…
You have to connect the gaps in the dwg. There are 347 gaps as you can see in @mihai.s gif…
If that’s to much work, you should contact the author of the file and tell them to clean it up.
You can use some extensions to help you with this:

Either you tell the person who drew the plan to redraw it correctly, including using layers properly, or you start correcting it yourself in SketchUp, after learning a few basic things - learn.sketchup.com.
Considering how the plan looks, it would probably be easier to go with a third option, to create the entire 3D model from scratch, using the dwg drawing only as a general reference.
