Hello,

I am building an open studio model in sketchup and I am looking at the view "render by boundary condition" and I am sectioning to see how the interior looks.

It seems most of my model is solid and I cannot see the interior walls etc. (I have attached images). Is there an way I can fix this without restarting from scratch?

Thank you. image description

@Brooke_Energy it looks like your image didn't attach correctly the first time -- can you please try again?

Also, if you are able to upload your model to Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. and then share a URL for others to download, that would help others provide better solutions.

Do you have section fill on?

I had section fill on, turning it off solved it thanks so much!

@Draza convert your comment to an answer please :) (If you can add a picture showing where in the Sketchup that is, even better)

Do you have section fill on? The image below shows what a section plane looks like when section fill is on. image description

If this is the issue you are describing then you can go to View>Section Fill and toggle it on/off as needed image description

@Brooke_Energy if you can accept the answer so the question is flagged as answered, and Draza gets the Karma points, that'd be great!
