My Walls Will Not Draw. Why?

Question

When drawing a wall using the wall tool, it will not complete it's loop. It just leaves a purple/pink outline.

Solutions

As silly as it sounds, when you complete your wall outline make sure you double-click with your mouse to complete the draw.

Click on the Sync Material button, and also ensure you have the latest version of PlusSpec installed. Click Here to view instructions in re-installing or updating PlusSpec.

Ensure Dynamic components are turned on. You can do this by opening your extensions manager, then toggling the Enabled button for PlusSpec, on and off. If you have SketchUp 16, you can do this by un-ticking and ticking PlusSpec.

In SketchUp go to View > Toolbars > and ensure Dynamic Components are checked.
