This is getting a little tedious! SU2021 is just not like the previous version insofar as drawing accurately! Push pull does not work properly - pushing a new area sometimes does not erase one or two sides of say a rectangle, dragging a guide does not stick to the red, blue or green axis often, new lines do not tie in with previously set up groups. I used to like it when new lines actually joined previous lines EXACTLY, now its just a hit and miss with line overlapping, lines that represent two blocks or groups don’t line up. Then try to dimension all these inaccurate and double lines is just another nightmare.
I hope I am describing this properly. This is just very frustrating. And yes, I have unchecked length snapping. I am drawing the simplest of little structures and nothing lines up, have to draw things twice or more, guidelines dont offset properly.
Oh, did i mention the high amount of clipping with this new version. No more zooming in close. Now one has to change camera perspective to parallel project every time or vice versa.
Can you upload the problem model?
There is no change in how accurate the software is. It’s as good as ever before at precision, so the issues you’re describing probably lie in something else. Perhaps a setting or a drawing method.
Clipping usually happens if you have geometry very far from the origin, at an unrealistic scales, or when you are modeling in parallel projection.
I couldn’t agree more with you. I was working all day on this tiny area when suddenly realizing that due to the offset function my lines didn’t align, and i couldn’t continue modelling. The distance between the 2 lines was so small that i could barely see it, let alone fix it. Litterally spend a whole day on it only to delete it…
I just made this account to blow off some steam, i’m sorry for being toxic but it’s just really painfull.
If you spend some time at The Learning Center, you will learn how to use the tools to get what you want. (interactive tutorials) Also, go to The SketchUp YouTube Channel and pay attention to the Square One series. Both are sponsored by the SketchUp Crew and is well worth the time spent there.
The best practice is to model with length snapping turned off, utilize the inferencing system, and set the units to the highest level of measurement offered.
Are you trying to model something really small at 1:1? Is there something really far from the origin?
Both of those are bad juju in SketchUp.
Should really just do what box said. They can usually post a fancy gif or video explanation faster than I can type this post when they have all the info.
