I use Sketchup 8 Pro for my woodworking and I can do most intermediate things. However, I have a problem with a hole in a square component. I want to cut it at 45 degrees across the hole. I have tried push/pull and follow-me with no success. I have just joined the community, so I’m not sure if I c…

I’m trying to cut the angle of the component at the origin across the line shown. The others are experiments from boxes reply. No success! No idea what i"m doing wrong. Problem Angle.skp (43.1 KB)

The edges need to form a face, so by joining your two angles with a straight line across the face a face appears which can then be intersected. You refer to components when in fact it is raw geometry. A component is a specific wrapped group of geometry, so be careful of your wording. [image]

I take your point about raw geometry. You make it look so easy but I’m really not sure what you’re doing. I think I understand to the part where you select the part and then intersect faces with selection. Not sure what you are doing after that. Are you deleting? Just cannot do what you are doing. V…

I’m just selecting and hitting the delete key on the keyboard.

I did it thank you so much. Check it out and see if I did it correctly. Problem Angle.skp (32.3 KB) Just gotta practice.

Just so you know, that face isn’t transparent, it is missing. Here is one way to do the whole thing with tools and no keyboard shortcuts. [image]

Guess I’ll have to watch this a number of times to perfect. Why is your toolbar different than mine? I tried to find what you have, but could not find them. See attachment.
