Hello, I am fairly new to SketchUp (long time AutoCAD user). I have noticed when creating a rectangle or circle that it will fill in automatically. I have made an irregular shape and thought it would fill in automatically but it doesn’t. So can someone please help me with this? File attached.
Try drawing a large rectangle on the ‘ground’ first and then draw your shape on top of that. If you find yourself drawing non-coplaner again, you can use the Drape tool in the Sandbox set or Eneroth Flatten to plane extension to fix.
Here’s a flattened version. Shape filled.skp (194 KB)
In order to avoid such problems, you should try and draw such shapes on a rectangle, instead of just in mid-air. If you then delete the four sides of the rectangle, you’ll have your shape, flat and filled!
