The dashed line has nothing to do with “square” or “golden section” **!** The dashed line in this case is a warning that an extra edge will be needed to obtain a segmented surface. Both the possible cursor indications: “From Point Square” and “From Point Golden Section” are false and misleading. **The cursor information in these cases should be left out completely** or “From Point (no rectangle)”. **The manual about the rectangle tool should mention the dashed line as being a warning.** **SketchUp’s code is** ~~_not_~~ **buggy in creating geometry. The text on screen should be taken care of.** altered: “…is not buggy…” in “…is ~~not~~ buggy…” --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/rectangle-tool-not-producing-rectangles/179604)._
