The mathematical model a computer uses to classify something as a solid, nurbs surface, or polygon is different, and each time you do that "ungroup" and "add solids" you're essentially converting your model from one type to another finally getting to a type (nurbs in this case) where you have the ability to cover up that "hole" (with the "add planar caps" command). If you go this route, then you won't be able to cut multiple sections without making copies of your model. If you use the "cut line" you'll cut your model, but will still be able to go back and edit it.
But since the "3D section" creates a copy of the section, then this isn't usually a problem. In this video, learn several different ways to cut holes in curved walls and faces inside of SketchUpCutting holes in curved faces can be a bit tricky - it. To find the Solid Tools, look in the following parts of the SketchUp interface: Solids toolbar. By ungrouping and using the "add solids" command, you essentially loose some ability to go back and change parameters you used to create your part initially. and that will turn your hollow model into a solid and cover up that open side, at least for most geometryįun huh? This has to do with the way Vectorworks keeps track of an objects creation history. Then you can combine the solid components youve made. You have to "ungroup", then "add solids", then "convert to nurbs", then "ungroup" again, then "add solids" again, then "create planar caps" and finally "add solids" a last time. You might take the repetitive components and work on them then work on the large parts making them solid. If you begin with a solid, and then use the "cut 3D section" you'll end up with a "group" of 3D polygons with an open side where you cut. Move away from the first shape, and start work on another one. Hold down CTRL, click on the Eraser tool and erase the lines that you see on the top and the bottom so the surface is ‘smooth’. Ron, you probably won't like this answer. How do you make a curved solid in SketchUp Use the Push/pull tool and pull it out to the width that you want it.
