First model with Sketchup : empty faces

**Pat_craft** · #1 01-30-2012, 02:39 AM

I start one of my first model with Scketchup, and of course I got some problems.

Here, I don't understand why 2 surfaces on the right side of the car are empty, while the other same surfaces on the left side are full.

Can you help me ? Pleaseeeeeeee....

Draw a lin from corner to corner through an empty face. It should fill in. then erase the line you just drew. If the face goes back to empty, you have a slight alignment issue.

You may want to do 1/2 of your model, the copy that half, then flip it and connect the two halves. This will save you a lot of work. If you have parts that are riight ot left only, you can still do a basic model half then add those parts after you have made the full model base.

Thanks Corey.
I perform your test...
I think that I have a slight alignement problem because the face goes back to empty. I can't see it, but it must be.

If I remember well, I did as you suggest : a half part, copy and flip. But I probably made an error. I will do it again.

Thanks for your help
