One thing to keep an eye on is edges made up of multiple segments when it isn't necessary. I've gone ahead and added a few to this drawing. I can turn on the endpoints in the styles window by choosing edit and then the first icon that looks like a wire frame box. Now I can check endpoints and I can see at each point where a segments starts and stops. So again, there is no good reason for these edges to have an endpoint here and here. So I'm going to go ahead and heal that. It may seen intuitive to simply draw a line from endpoint to endpoint to heal that. However, SketchUp will retain the original endpoints throughout.
