Hi there I want to make a grid with 2m thickness. I have created so far a base surface from rectangles. Now I would like to get rid of all the intersection lines to get one contiguous surface that I can push up to 2m. I have tried and googled now for more than two hours without getting to the fi…

I would have modeled it differently from the beginning to avoid all the coplanar edges but at this point you could either go around with the Eraser tool and erase the unneeded edges or you could use an extension like Thom Thom’s CleanUp3 to delete them. FWIW, I would have started with a single hole…

Thanx a lot, Dave! Yep, the idea with the wholes is way off better! Anyhow, I will try all your propositions to get more experienced! -Didi

Hi Dave A: I did it the way you proposed: I constructed a plane, filled it with holes, removed the edges and finally pushed it up. To remove the edges I made 4 guide lines, drew the lines and then used the eraser to remove all the unnecessary parts. This step took most of the time. Is there a tr…

Keep in mind that Dave’s method is indicated to understand how to use the basic tools. [git-05]

Hi mihai.s Wow! Another extension to explore … Thanx a lot :slight_smile: ! -Didi

Boaaaahhh … There is much to learn … I start to love SU :smiley: How do you make the animated GIFs? Is this another extension in SU? Thousand Thanx for supporting me! -Didi

Yep! I am a heavy Googler and I also use «site:help.sketchup.com» and «site:forums.sketchup.com». Furthermore I have Camtasia. However, I am always open to a personal recommendation from someone, who seems to be an experienced user :wink: and as I can see, with the tool you are using you get to f…

I gave you a link to that discussion because any of the recommended programs are very good. I use two of the three, and for the above GIFs I used Licecap . You just have to test them and see who you work with more easily.

Thanx mihai.s! Of course I have first read all 7 posts in the thread you posted before shooting back. I take such hints serious! That’s why I referred that I have Camtasia. However, there were several tools mentioned … I will give Licecap a try and compare it to Camtasia! Thanx again - I apprec…
