Point Link: Sketchup Building

Hold the Shift key to lock the inference direction. This ensures that your new point links perfectly vertically or horizontally to the existing building point. Method 2: Healing Geometry with "Close Open Points" Sometimes, imported geometry breaks existing links. SketchUp has a hidden hero for this: Edge Utilities (available via Extension Warehouse) or the native Find Intersections tool.

Mastering the building point link transforms SketchUp from a frustrating "art program" into a legitimate architectural CAD tool. Every wall will heal. Every roof will close. Every render will be light-tight.

Imagine you have a 20-story building. You have a floor plate component copied 20 times. You need to add a curtain wall that links the top right corner of Floor 1 to the top right corner of Floor 20.

If you do not see the colored inference dot, do not click. If you are not holding Shift to lock an axis, assume you are wrong. If you are drawing inside a group and need to connect to the outside, press Alt .
