    Try Skimp to import as its importers are better than the native I find. Or Sam's Universal Importer: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=universal_importer

    That's very convincing. Even the fresnel effect looks good. Doesn't look like a render and to be honest if you said it was a photo I wouldn't 2nd guess it.

    The initial Snap placement requires a double left click. So make sure your Snap is perpendicular to the face then double click to place it. If you single click you then get it placed but it expects you to then orientate it. That can cause you to get disturbed by SketchUp's inferencing engine. It's a little tricky to get the workflow but with practice it becomes relatively easy. Personally, I'd tackle this Star Shape differently. Especially if you have exact dimensions. But everyone does things differently. [image: 1757079102220-sketchup_npqcksedmv.gif]

    I asked Chat gpt to put together a python code to input into blender to make its functionality less of a challenge to migrate from SU to blender. Here is the result. I could not test it because I know nothing of Blender so here is the file that chat produced This is the zip file sketchup_mode_addon.zip The instructions from chat were as follows I can’t download or build Blender for you, but I created a ready-to-install package with the SketchUp-style add-on and clear instructions so you can add it to Blender or bundle it into a custom build locally. Download the add-on ZIP here: Download the SketchUp-mode add-on What I included: sketchup_mode.py — single-file Blender add-on (prototype) — the same code I put into the canvas earlier. README.txt — quick install + advanced notes (how to preinstall into a Blender build or portable distribution). license.txt — short provenance note. If you want next steps I can provide immediately (no waiting): Exact CMake snippet and packager steps to include the file when building Blender from source on Windows, macOS, or Linux — tell me which OS/version and I’ll generate the exact commands and patch files. A small installer script (PowerShell for Windows, Bash for macOS/Linux) that will place the add-on into the correct user or portable Blender addons folder on your machine — tell me which OS and whether you want it for a system-wide installation or a portable build. Further feature work on the add-on (inference snaps, Offset/Follow-Me, wall primitives). If you pick features, I’ll extend the add-on code and give you an updated zip. I hope somebody knows ebough to have an experiment for this.

    Artificial intelligence? More like machine learning, little applets put together with a fancy title. Mathematical algorithms do not alone, intelligence make but, marketing is a powerful thing and creates the Emperors new clothes on an almost daily basis. Like always, buyer beware. Careful of the nano bananas, the Gibbons will go all funky on that.

    You can download these using our own Sketchucation Tools. I love the texture tools for randomization and the Sprinkle tool.

    @pixelcruncher I have activated the license. One of those mats that did not make it into Rayscaper has been resolved, I just used a different 'gold' colour which is fine. I have now got the native Sketchup colour which renders fine. I will try to find a way to make the scene available but am having issues with microsnot and one thieving barsteward drive.

    Try my suggestions of softening and hiding the edges. You could also consider radiused edges instead of the hard square edges you have.
