Sketchup needs a Knife tool

[StillLearning1993]

I have been working on this for over 3 hours, and for the most part, I got what I wanted, except one thing, the resilient channels are IN the doorway, and I want to “Slice” the part of the Resilient Channel that is in the doorway, I tried to do it three ways, Extensions, Planes and manually drawing lines around the intersection, and neither achieved the result i was aiming for.

Here is the file, if you think you can do what I was trying to achieve: Office

The overall intent of this file is to get exact specs for my Dream Office, of my Dream house(Which I need to 3D model all the rooms and whatnot for) so ultimately I can convert my model into blueprints that I will take to a builder to get a quote on how much it would cost exactly to get this house built(yes that is the long term goal).

I am thankful if you can successfully do what I failed to do, but if you can’t then no worries, I’ll do what I want to achieve the very hard way(Copy the resilient channels resize for one side, then paste resilient channel to other side and resize that)

P.S. I remember when I was in school, SketchUp had a “Walk” Feature which made it so you could explore your 3D model as if you were actually IN SketchUp, so where did that feature go?

So I got rid of the top one with no problem using a couple of rectangles as cutting planes and Intersect Faces after I drilled down through the component and group containers to get to the raw geometry.

If you had made the thing a solid group or component without all the nesting, cutting would have been a simple matter with the Solid Tools.

As for the Walk feature, it’s still there in the Camera menu and toolbar.

What version of SketchUp are you using? Please complete your profile with that information.

I tend to use SketchUp Make 2017.

I have to admit, I still need to learn some Of SketchUp’s more convenient features.
