None of my shapes are solid?

SketchUp
1

No matter what shape I make in SketchUp, it tells me the shape is not solid

Even a simple rectangular box (made by drawing a flat rectangle then pulling one face) isn’t solid. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Are there settings that can be changed? This turning what should be a simple project into an exercise in frustration. Please help me out?

Thanks so much for any direction you can give.

I’d also like to note that Solid Inspector says everything is fine, but I can’t get the solid tools to work.

Just checking, do you select/triple click your drawn geometry and make a group? ThomThom has a great plugin for solid tools - Solid Inspector. You can install and run it to check what’s wrong.

Thanks so much! Now I feel silly that I hadn’t been grouping objects. That cleared it right up!
