Help Needed: Trimming Rectangular Slat Wall to Fit Angled Triangle Face

SketchUp
1

Hi all,

I’m working on a golf simulator room design in SketchUp and have hit a bit of a wall (literally). I’ve placed a series of rectangular slat wall panels along the sides of the simulator without issue. However, I’m now trying to trim the final panel at the end so it fits flush with a triangular/angled face (as part of the angled ceiling or side wall).

I’ve tried using “Intersect Faces > With Selection” after exploding the component and selecting both the slat panel and the angled face, but nothing seems to happen. I’ve checked that the geometries are overlapping and on the same editing level, but still no intersection lines appear.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Exploded both the panel and the wall face
  • Ensured both faces intersect and physically overlap
  • Selected both faces and used Intersect Faces > With Selection
  • Tried doing it from inside a group/component as well as in raw geometry

Still no luck. Am I missing a step? Or is there a better way to trim or cut the slat wall so it conforms to the angled triangle?

trim

or make them group (they’ll become solid) and use solid tools

Great stuff, thanks very much everyone! Spent hours and hours trying to do this manually with the line tool. Much appreciated!!!

Thanks, yeah I’ve been trying to do that as well but no luck. I’m using a texture from sketchuptextureclub but when I group the panels, they don’t become solid. PS- they’re .jpgs and they have no depth.

Geometry has to have thickness to be a solid. An image cannot be.
