Yes, Sketchup is really amazingly easy to use , but because of simplification, there are too many things not easy to handle without training repeatedly.

-.- to make the face that you want you would want to click on the rectangle, and square to all the points.
-
@aidanchopra im trying to create a face on a plane that is completely skew, how can i create a face?
-
my question is similar to lachyray's below here in the comments: what about surfaces where the lines cannot be parallel? How would you go about creating a surface on something with curved sides or having crooked sides that should not be straight?
-
does this mean that you cant make faces with edges that arent parallel?
-
sometimes it is to small and will keep snapping to the axis. I just redraw the line past the crossing line and then erase the extention.
-
How about curved surfaces? I could only get mine when I formed a flat face and pushed it upwards. (the curve was part of a circle) But when I erased it to change the length of it, I couldn't get it back with an arc line.
Any solutions, other than redrawing everything and pushing them up?
-
Thanks! I was getting crazy with this kind of things.
-
because that's not a straingt face you stupid
-
Finally, my face is filled.

This video wasn't helpful for me. The program is failing to create a face on a triangle I'm making.
I have a straight line 0.2mm long on the green axis. From the middle of this line, along the red axis, is a 0.9mm line. At the end of that line there starts a line on the blue axis that is 3.2mm long (so looking from the top there is a small T, the top being .2mm and the vertical being 0.9mm). I'm trying to make a triangle from either end of the 0.2mm line to the top of the blue line.
Anybody?

I think perhaps the problem might lie with the fact that you're using very small dimensions. SketchUp sometimes struggles with very small things. My suggestion would be to work in meters instead of millimeters, then scale the whole model to 1/1000th of its size when you're done. I know this isn't ideal, but it just might work. Good luck.
