I'm trying to draw a roof with no success.

Screenshot

These areas should be filled that I can add roof texture there. I tried with sandbox and "from contour" but it's not what I want (can't use a tile texture on it).

3D specific questions are off topic here. Sorry. – Scott Aug 18 '12 at 23:40

Yea, this is an architecture/drafting question. Maybe appropriate in Home Improvement. (Odd that there isn't a CAD Software site on SE...or even one just dedicated to SketchUp for that matter) – DA01 Oct 31 '12 at 21:40
Is there a separate stackexchange for 3D specific questions? What is the address? I mustn't be the only one that didn't know this. – thomasrutter Nov 1 '12 at 2:21

What you need to do is create a plane. Planes should be automatically created, but if they are not, its a good idea to draw a line from corner to corner to force a plane to be created. Once a valid solid plane has been created you should be able to use material fills.

Thanks for answering, but this didn't help. – MikkoP Oct 31 '12 at 16:50
Were the planes not created? – Zach Sugano Nov 2 '12 at 4:38
See the picture above. The lines are "cross-axis". SketchUp won't create surfaces on those situations. – MikkoP Nov 2 '12 at 17:25
