Hi all, 3 month user. Upgraded to 2026 Sketchup. New geometry shows as edges only and without faces. It’s tagged as as “Untagged” in the Entity info. It is a group, but have also tried it as a component. Any ideas as to what’s going on? Been using 2025 without any issues.
Thanks for your help.
Share the model so we can see exactly what you’ve set up.
How do i share this?
If it’s 16 Mb or less drag the .skp file into a reply. If larger, upload it to DropBox or Google Drive and share the link.
it’s possible you turned on Draft Mode. Try hitting ‘k’ or going to Preferences > Performance > Draft Mode and turn that off:
Hope that helps,
Adam
What Adam shows applies to LayOut. I presume you are referring to SketchUp though since you posted in the SketchUp category. Is that correct?

Yes for Sketchup.
This is what I see when I open your file.
No missing faces. I did see that you haven’t kept Untagged active and have a little bit of incorrect tag usage.
If you turned off the visibility for Untagged a lof of the model would not be shown.
See if you see the same thing in this file.

Thanks for help. I’m not in Layout, but I did try hitting “K” just to see, but had no change.
Oops, my mistake I lost track of where I was on the forums!
I suspect the problem may be with edges and faces that have the “Project Private” tag applied to them. This tag is set to non-visible in several of your scenes, which makes those faces and edges disappear even though their groups are selectable.
Good catch.

And this is sorted by fixing the incorrect tag usage as I did.
It’s still acting the same way. I did have a bug splat come up though. I’m thinking the new companies template for 2026 has issues or I need to reinstall Sketchup to hopefully solve some glitch.
Thanks for your speedy replies.
Did you send in the Bug Splat report with something to identify that it came from you?
I would suggest that you do a repair of the SketchUp installation. Right click on the downloaded installer, choose Run as administrator from the Context menu, and when presented with the options, choose Repair.
Perhaps you can share the template with us.
I did put my email address in the box and sent it off.
I’ve tried to find the repair app, but I’m not finding it. When I right click on the program it just opens up the welcome screen. I have been using Cabinet Vision for 15 years and was ok using it, but this company wants to use Sketchup and Cabinet Sense. Right now I’m freaking lost and severely frustrated. Someone at the company will have to figure this out. I don’t have enough computer savvy to figure this out.
I was directing you to right click on the downloaded installer, not the program itself. Look in the Downloads folder on your computer.
I have been selecting and the eye is on, but the geometry is not visible until I click on the group, then it’s visible. But then I switch tabs and the geometry is not visible anymore. Been trying to assign the untagged or public option without any real success.
I think the program has a big glitch going on. I get a bugsplash randomly. That or the new template they gave me to use is screwed up somehow.
I’m not sure and my supervisor is not sure.
Thanks for the help.
Would this be the right place? I think it takes me to the registry and I don’t dare go there.
I’ve always been told not to go there as smoke and flames will happen and nothing will ever work right again.
Is that in your Downloads folder? If so, that’s the right place. Right click on it, choose Run as administrator and then Repair.
No. It doesn’t take you to the Registry. If you don’t know what you are doing in the Registry you should stay out of it but repairing the installation as I describe won’t take you to the Registry.
