SketchUp is pretty good at "snapping" new lines to existing
vertices. I rely very heavily on that when drawing adjacent walls in
two zones. It also helps to type in measurements of wall lengths and
wall heights instead of trying to use the mouse to set the length.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When drawing a model in
SketchUp, two surfaces should have exactly the same vertices
to be recognized as adjacent with the “matching surfaces”
tool. However it’s quite difficult to obtain perfect
adjacency when drawing on SketchUp.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I found that it can be
fixed in TrnBuild within using the manual geometry mode and
matching adjacent surfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">But then it’s not
possible to modify the model with SketchUp again, since the
geometry mode has been changed to “manual”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Is there a method or
