couple of sketchup questions

[LarryS.]

Hi guys,

Can anyone help ?!

I'm drawing some rsj's, straight sections and curved, as practice. But i've got a couple of things I want to fix :

The colour of the faces don't match, why is this and how do I fix ?

The corners seem to have 'bumps' in them, which I haven't see before, again how do I fix ?

thanks


Paul

right click on the little marks and select hide, and to change colour select the areas you want to have the same colour and click the right colour on the palette.

is there a way to select all of the little marks to hide ? (just that there is a lot of them :shock: )

also I did the colour fill, but its giving differing colours for different sides, is there something for colours where they are tied to the axis ?

thanks again

In relation to changing colour if you have not put any paint on yet and the faces revert between grey and white. Then just right click on the face you want to change and click reverse face

The blobs are segment endpoints. You have selected an architectural style rather than a woodworking one, which is why they show up. To get rid of them, edit the Style and go to Edge Settings. Untick Endpoints and Extensions.

The different coloured faces are because some are showing as front face and some as back face. Select all the ones that are wrong, then right-click for Reverse Faces.

hi steve thanks for the help, when i click on edge settings there isn't an option for Endpoints and Extensions ?

 

[Steve Maskery]

Have you got the Style window open? The Edit tab is on that and there are tick boxes for both Extensions and Endpoints there.
