![]() ![]() In your specific model, take a look at the attached screenshot for just a few examples of what I can find. Sometimes the flaws are subtle, entangled, and very hard to fix. Often it is actually faster and easier to begin anew than to struggle trying to repair flaws in an existing model. I know it can be very frustrating to hear this, but your best approach may be to start over and avoid problems by being more careful from the beginning. SketchUp will never report a volume until the selected object is what SU considers a “solid”, as reported at the top of the Entity Info window. Layers in SketchUp do not structure or aggregate anything, they just provide a visibility flag that multiple objects can share. ![]() For that reason you should almost always leave Layer0 as the active layer. To avoid confusing problems with visibility (which can affect your ability to select things) all edges and faces should only associate with Layer0. There are a large number of edges and faces that associate with the Cylinder layer, which has been set as the active layer. You are also not using SketchUp’s layers appropriately. You need to get all the geometry primitives (edges and faces) into the same Group or Component so that they can interact. This makes it impossible for these two sets of geometry to intersect or to be edited at the same time. The Oil Tank’s geometry is all in the Oil Tank group. The supports are raw geometry in the anonymous outer Group. ![]() You have the Oil Tank Group nested in Component#1 nested in an anonymous Group. There are still some issues with your modeling technique. ![]()
