Help Needed - Sketchup wont substract
August 16, 2014 02:47PM
Hi,

Can someone please help, I'm remodeling an item, I build the item for the most parts, I need to make 6 holes to an object, the object was turned to a component, as well as each of the cylinders that need to be subtracted from the object, while 3 of the cylinders were subtracted without any problems 3 wont get subtracted.
Attached is the file which is almost self-explanatory

Thank you

The object you are trying to subtract from is not a solid (manifold) object, ergo it can not perform the subtraction.
Make the object solid.

The main block was a solid, but once the first hole was subtracted, the main block became a non-solid and the rest would fail to subtract. The use of the Solid Inspector and Clean-up3 plugins shows where occurring.
