I watched the entire Sketchup tutorial and thought I had a basic grasp of the concepts. After (6) hours of scratching my head I'm more confused now than before. I thought that building half of the wing and making a copy, flipping, pasting was suppose to save effort! I must have missed something? I guess I need a better understanding of the compnent functions. After making the wing half and moving them into position I cant seem to be able to delete the center line. Is it possible that I may have tried too many functions to recover back to where I can edit that line at without making the whole object disappear? Lastly, I used the flatten tool at one point on one of the wing copies, now I can't seem to do anything with it. I did have two bugsplats present themselves while working the file, do those event kill the whole file?

Why does the 24 x 36 template area look like a square? Shouldn't it look like a rectangle? The dimensions are showing it's a rectangle. Attached files Raptor 1.skp (26.6 KB)Â

 

Explode the part, or double click on it to edit the component. If they are turned into components before you are done with them you can't really work with them

 

Thanks guys. I went back and worked up the parts again from right angle measurements. That was a little tedious but, not too hard. I'll try the suggestions mentioned above and see if I can produce like results. Thanks for the advice.
