Solid Tools

Solid tools let you do things that would be impossible or take a lot of steps with native tools. SketchUp has six; activate them at Views > Toolbar > Solid Tools. The first one on the toolbar, Outer Shell, is available with Make. The rest are Pro features. Solid tools only work on solid geometry, and they work differently than native tools. Basically, you push solids together and then choose what operation you want to perform by picking a specific Solid tool. Once a Solid tool operation has been performed, a model’s parts can’t be individually edited anymore. So it’s good practice to save a copy of the model first.

In the following project we’ll use the Subtract tool to subtract one solid from another.
