Solids not to merge

[fernando-1]

When I create extrusions say boxes or cylinders in Sketchup they automatically union and/or merge. Is there a setting where they stay intact in other words I don't want them to merge from one another.

Thanks

You want them to stay as seperate groups?

 

If you do, try using "split" instead of "union". If you just want the lines drawn where the objects intersect, right click and select "intersect faces/with selected/with model/with context".

I guess the answer is to create each geometry (Box, Cylinder, etc.) and convert in its own layer and group that way they stay separate. Otherwise they auto merge.

Just separate them into different groups, layers won't help you here.
