Uploaded SKP files get converted automatically so they can be downloaded for older versions but effective at the beginning of this year, they are no longer making files for versions older than SU2014.

Hi, I am thanks a lot of your tip about .NET FRAMEWORK, it saved me

@dave r said: @john2 said: It makes a full loop of all the enclosing edges and removes the corner edges thereby softening them. Select all the geometry of the shape, right click on it and choose Soften/Smooth. Leave the softening angle at 20°. thanks. That does it perfectly.

Why not keep your old version? Because all plugins are not yet all Updated for the new version! Seems you have made a double post, maybe you can delete the other one! Gift for welcome!

No, what I mean is either you do as rich suggested, which is the proper 3d way, or you do it with a line (axis) and it rotates 180 around that axis.

Are you using SketchUp 8 as your profile indicates? Assuming you've actually downloaded and installed the current version of SketchUp Make (2017), it starts as a 30 day trial of SketchUp Pro. It'll revert to Make at the end of the trial. To open SketchUp, choose a template and then click on Start Using SketchUp. [image: O5GH_Screenshot-4_30_20174_25_19PM.png]

There's nothing wrong. There's nothing to fix. It isn't painting the back faces when you paint the component/group container. You shouldn't be painting the component/group container. You should be painting the faces. If you do, all of the container will show the material. Also, if you paint the container you won't have the option to adjust the orientation of the material. You must paint the faces to have that ability.

hello to all and thanx for checking my problem. i will check the specs in detail, maybe it is time to buy a new notebook than.... thanx a lot again stan

With many roofing patterns I found the material was made correctly in the first place. Just a "Reset position" under Texture in the contextual menu will will set it right

There is no native SVG export from SketchUp.

@dave r said: This is typical of a graphics card issue. If you search the forum for 'wireframe', you'll find other reports. What version of SketchUp is she using? If SU2016 or older, turning off Hardware Acceleration in Preferences>OpenGL will probably take care of it. What is the graphics card? She should make sure the drivers are up to date. Thanks you for your help!

Thanks again for your answer!It looks so much nicer when all the black lines hidden. Much appreciated!!

Thank you, now works perfectly.

You also need View > Hidden Geometry ON so that you can see the 'smoothed' lines and the individual facets forming the surface are shown, and thereby also made selectable separately...

No one?

For clean walls use Fredo Tool for see the false segments! (Mark Vertices) So erase the 3 false long segments and redraw them Then Make face (with the 2 "red lines") Then Extrude by Push Pull! Et voilà! Ps Kill the Guide points! [image: FkeI_false_walls.jpg]

Fredo Tools > CurviShear should help you out.

This will be an issue with the drivers for your graphics card. What is the graphics card? Try updating its drivers. @d7man2000 said: The problem is SketchUp 2017 doesn't have an option to uncheck hardware acceleration like in the older version. No. Due to the new graphics pipeline used by SketchUp 2017 there is no option to turn off Hardware Acceleration. SketchUp 2017 does not have an option to use the software rendering like older versions. @d7man2000 said: not sure how to disable hardware acceleration. You can't. You need to make sure your graphics card is up to the task of supporting OpenGL3.0 or you will find it difficult to use SU2017. @d7man2000 said: I am attaching print screens of older and SketchUp 2017 OpenGL settings where hardware acceleration options is missing. Thanks. As before, it's not missing. Since there's option to do software rendering, it's not an option to turn off Hardware Acceleration. The fact that you needed to turn off Hardware Acceleration in the past implies that your GPU or its drivers haven't been suitable from before SU2017. Now you'll need to deal with that instead of pushing the rendering off on the CPU. Read the Release Notes and System Requirements.

Thanks guys, theres a few alternatives and I'll look at each. Not to discount Unity but I suspect that it will end up being influenced by the fact that I have friends with a good knowledge of both Unreal Engine and Blender which will likely give me a boost and save time.
