How to Make Objects Solid in Sketchup

Thank you!

Good

Why don't the help files explain that you have to make point line plane objects into a group to use the solid tools?

thank you god

such a shame the answer wasn't easy and fast and direct :(

Thank you, that was instructive. There are scores of people making "tutorials" here on YT who create really bad topology, which will never survive encounter with life outside of SketchUp (or even any boolean operation within SketchUp itself), and not a single one of them seems to be aware of it -- it teaches people horrible habits. I am not surprised that when importing some random asset from the Warehouse you encounter that sort of thing.

this kinda suggests not using sketchup :D

terrible video, very poorly explained

THANKS BROTHER FOR TUTORIAL VIDEO.

THANK YOU YOU SAVED ME BRUH THANKS

you save my live thank you so much.

You save my life menn.... thanksssssssss

How were you able to get your UI to look like that? Also I am following the steps you take by on my screen it is not showing an extensions tab, or extensions that I have downloaded.

You saved me!!! Thanks man!

didnt work :(

thank you so much!!

Too much work. Just get solid inspector plugin. It's awesome

thank you very much for this. i've been trying to use the union/subtract etc for 30mins with no use lol

So how do I get that plug in

lolz you lost me at imported a lug wrench ,if i was not a newbie im sure what you said was great but sadly ive no clue ,all im trying to do is push pull a flat gear ive drawn but it wont solid ,every push pull i do just makes it hollow

we have imported a 3D model and have cleaned up with solid inspector , when we slice the Model into parametric slices/parts  we get incomplete parts / slices.. dow we need to fill model as solid block ? if so how ? Please advise

how to add that extensions tab ? i dont have that tab

Why doesn't this software allow to declare a what an object is? It looks like it decides that something is a solid just to then make it a non-solid one moment later.
Shouldn't be the creator in charge of what is a solid and what not? They could easily make a solid rectangle, then pull up the rectangle and it's already a solid and it shouldn't change.
The solution conceived by sketchup is perverse.

thank you

add indonesian subtittle please sir

I live by making all my models solids, allows for easy editing and keeps you honest in having a clean model overall, this was a great tutorial, and general concept to learn. I use the Clean Plugin all the time, but to do all the manual work you did, I love using Solid Inspector as well. Will automatically erase all the items preventing a solid, or at the least highlight them for you to fix manually. Love the channel, thanks for the vids!
