I need some advice on how I should fix an issue I am having in Sketchup. I am trying to add a pergola to my map in Sketchup. I first drew out the sides of the pergola in AutoCAD so I could later put the sides together in SketchUp. I thought it would be easiest this way. I have all the individual sides of my pergola at the bottom of my map, but the issue I am having is I have been filling in each shape with the pencil tool to make the pergola components solid since they are starting out empty/transparent in the program. I am finding that this technique is extremely time consuming because I am having to trace each individual shape separately in order to use the push/pull tool on each individual part of the pergola. I was wondering if there are any other techniques to get this done faster? I am working on this for a school project. I am somewhat new to SketchUp and still have a lot to learn. The pergola is caged so it has a lot of openings as well. My sketchup file is attached here below. Thank you!
