Create Missing Faces Faster with NT Face
NT Face is a free SketchUp make face plugin created by Nice Tower for generating faces from selected edges and extruding surfaces during detailed modeling. It helps repair incomplete geometry and turns connected linework into usable surfaces with fewer manual steps.
Turn connected SketchUp edges into usable faces
Building every missing surface one by one can interrupt a detailed modeling workflow. NT Face analyzes selected connected edges and creates the required faces in a focused command. This example shows how the plugin reduces repetitive clicking when cleaning imported linework or repairing incomplete SketchUp geometry.
A focused SketchUp face creation tool for cleaner models
Imported CAD drawings, intersected edges and edited components often contain missing surfaces. NT Face helps architects, interior designers and 3D artists create faces from suitable selected boundaries and continue modeling without tracing every loop again. It is useful for repairing models, converting linework into surfaces and preparing geometry for extrusion.
Create missing faces
Generate surfaces from valid connected edge boundaries.
Fast edge workflow
Work directly from selected SketchUp linework without repetitive retracing.
Surface extrusion
Continue from created faces to useful modeled depth.
Smooth and soften
Apply practical surface options for cleaner detailed geometry.
Model repair
Restore incomplete areas in imported or edited SketchUp models.
Free RBZ installer
Install through SketchUp Extension Manager at no cost.
How to create a face from edges in SketchUp
Select clean connected edges that define a closed boundary. Removing duplicates and small gaps before running the tool produces the most reliable surface.
Select the edges
Choose the connected linework that should form a surface.
Check the boundary
Confirm the loop is closed and remove duplicate or disconnected edges.
Run NT Face
Create the missing face with the focused toolbar command.
Refine the result
Inspect orientation, smoothing and extrusion before continuing.
Repair and extrude surfaces with fewer manual steps
After creating a surface, many modeling tasks immediately require depth or additional control. NT Face supports a faster transition from selected edges to finished geometry, making it useful for interior details, panels and imported drawings. The video demonstrates how the workflow keeps surface creation clear and efficient.
Practical ways to use NT Face in SketchUp
Imported CAD plans
Turn suitable closed DWG linework into SketchUp faces more quickly.
Model repair
Restore deleted or missing surfaces in architectural components.
Interior details
Create panels, cabinetry parts and decorative surfaces from edge outlines.
Concept modeling
Convert sketched boundaries into editable geometry during early design.

NT Face FAQ
Is NT Face free?
Yes. Version 1.0.0 is available as a free RBZ download from Nice Tower.
What does NT Face do?
It creates missing SketchUp faces from suitable connected edge boundaries and supports faster surface modeling.
Why is a face not created?
The selected boundary may contain a gap, duplicate edge or geometry that does not form a valid closed loop.
Can I use it with imported CAD linework?
Yes, after cleaning the imported edges and confirming that the required boundaries are closed.
How do I install it?
Download the RBZ, open Extension Manager, choose Install Extension and select the NT Face file.
