How to make one solid component

[Ted0711]

Sketchup easy (They say) I find it very difficult to understand the logics.

I have a simple object to replace a broken one. I managed to create the right measures and form. It should be one solid support plate, but no way I can find a way to make it solid. I even can’t fill the top face. Sketchup won’t create a face, no matter how many times I draw the lines. Exhausting…

Can you share the model with us?

Do you want to draw something like this?

Yes, that’s it. Could you tell me which steps to make to achieve this?

If I was drawing this thing, which I’m not, I would do it this way.

Draw the cross section and extrude it to height. Then draw the circles for the pins on the top and bottom and use Push/Pull to extrude them. Make a component and it should be solid with no special tricks or extra steps.

I tried it again and succeeded following your instructions. Thanks a lot!
