Revision history [back]

I always have issues with surface intersections/ matching. I found the reason to be that when I intersect using the surface matching intersection tools in sketchup that the split surfaces all have the same name. No matter how many times or software versions I have tried, I keep getting the same issue.

Surfaces all have the same name.

The only way I find to fix it is deleting all the split surfaces individually and instantly drawing them back so that they get a new name. Once I redraw them I find that there is no issue with surface matching. The problem is on large projects with many zones that become too time consuming.

Is there any existing measures to rename these surfaces with duplicate names to have their own individual unique names.

I have found that using honeybee (Rhino / Grasshopper) to generate these surface intersections works well, but sometimes working on large projects can be difficult due to computing power.

Thanks in advance for your help.
