Making an attempt to Put up – Ghosts within the Mannequin – Technical Issues

Sorry that the Discussion board website is defeating me – how does one ship a question?

I’ve ended up with ghosts within the mannequin. Within the connected (most of) the vertical reinforcing bars have turn into not possible to grip and re-allocate tags. These are extruded cylinders and have gone by way of group and explode cycles. I do must tag them so I can change them off. Any ideas?

Looks like you’ve managed to submit your question though there’s nothing to see. Drag and drop screenshots into your submit and in addition share the SketchUp file with us.

What model of SketchUp are you really utilizing the place you’re seeing this? Your profile says SketchUp PRo 2023 but in addition iOS for the working system. Are you utilizing SketchUp Professional or SketchUp for iPad?

Thanks in your swift reply.

Utilizing 2023 on an iPad. File connected.

And on the iPad display screen the comma operators find yourself coated by dialogue bins which don’t transfer off simply. Sending on this case was really unintended. Hopefully no such trials with this one.

Truly you’re utilizing SketchUp for iPad? SketchUp Professional runs on Mac OS and Home windows, not iOS.

What are you referring to as “ghosts”? Once I open your mannequin in SketchUp Professional I see a complete lot of unfastened geometry however nothing that appears ghost-like to me…

I additionally discover you’re assigning tags to edges and faces. All edges and faces ought to be created and stay untagged. Solely teams and parts ought to get tags. Due to the way in which you’ve got tagged some geometry however different geometry is left untagged, some stuff disappears while you flip off a tag whereas different stuf doesn’t. Maybe that is what you’re seeing?

Thanks. I see the argument. The present state of affairs is that may not grip the mis-handled entities – many of the rebar isn’t responding to the choose in both encirclement or crossing mode. If I used to be in a position to resurrect these rebar entities and replica tu to a brand new drawing, then I may resolve them again out of any tag after which group and tag them. Any attainable method to try this?

Since the entire geometry in your mannequin is now join attributable to not grouping, it’ll be a ache within the neck or some other place to restore this. Personally I believe beginning over can be the best and quickest approach to take care of it. I might create a single rebar part (not group), give it the suitable tag, after which use Transfer/Copy to make the linear arrays wanted.

Agreed and Thanks, David :

I’ve discovered :

1. Don’t tag non-grouped or componented parts – traces / surfaces : solely teams or parts.

2. Tag parts instantly after making them. And equally with teams.

Recognize the assistance and the speedy response.

Excellent. Additionally be sure you are making teams and parts as you go to forestall geometry merging that must be separate.
