    @db-3d I have been having a problem with the view that AI Enhance grabs. I have attached the example. The top image is the view I want to render. Below is what happens when I open AI Enhance. Its not copying the viewport and view / scene I am working with. I can resize that window but it doesn't change the image it shows. I guess it's a setting somewhere - most of my work is widescreen landscape. Thanks [image: 1786730167303-viewport.jpg]

    Alors on fait de l'Ia de plus en plus! Très cool, très propre, dans le bon sens du terme, tout ça! Bravo! Comme d'habitude ce sont ceux qui ont la fibre artistique qui vont le plus en profiter! On se demande ce que Gaudi en aurait fait! Un peu comme cette façade j'en suis sûr! Bon après il faut la réaliser, c'est une autre paire de manches!

    @fredo6 I always got this dialog when pressed the tab and LOVED it! [image: 1786885361395-schermafbeelding-2026-08-16-150109.png]. When pressing ctrl- & shift I could scale uniformly. I don't see the improvement...sorry

    Début de la création d'une fonction Zebra Classe A pour Moi ou autres! Pure bricolage de ma part! Il parait que cela sert pour faire des avions, des voitures, du design! Chaque ajout d'une fonction prend 10 secondes! Par contre il faut la tester! https://moiscript.weebly.com/zebra.html [image: 1786872420684-zeb01.jpg] [image: 1786872666285-gifzebra-draft.gif] [image: 1786872441214-gif_bulo.gif]

    Try to turn on all the layers in the "tags" panel and se if it's something related to layer visibility.

    Any AI image generation relies on the input image to have some level of clarity. You don't get any real control over materials. Try it out with and already existing model to get a feel for it.

    @ntxdave said in Create new or adjust materials: The only problem I am having now is that when I rotate the object (actually the camera) So you mean orbit the camera? @ntxdave said in Create new or adjust materials: the image on the back side of the heart comes and goes Sounds like Z-fighing. Make the image of the heart a texture and apply it to just the back face of the heart. Turn on Hidden Geometry so you can paint the back separately from the rest.

    Once again, I want to thank all of you for your responses. As I said earlier, this is not my first model and I have been using SU for several years. Just doing things far different from what I am working on now. @Box was right on. I finally did it correctly and it worked exactly the way I wanted it to. My dimensions are slightly off (VERY minor) but I got it to do exactly what I wanted. . I have some other challenges but hope I can share what I am doing in a couple of days. You will all wonder what the heck was so difficult.

    Bug splats

    Every SketchUp release includes bug fixes. As Rich indicates it might be related to an extension. Are these Bug Splats you are experiencing a recent thing? Can you identify what change in your computer might have happened right before you started seeing the Bug Splats? Obviously SketchUp 2017 hasn't changed in 8 years. You could disable all of the extensions and see if you still get Bug Splats. If not, enable half of them and see if there's a change. If so it's probably one of those extensions. If not, enable half of the remaining ones and check again. It could also be related to graphics drivers or operating system updates. If that's the case rolling back to a version from before when the Bug Splats started would be the next step. What operating system are you using? Keep in mind that your computer is evolving out from under SketchUp 2017 Make. I presume you are using it as a hobbyist so it may not be a big deal that you have to deal with Bug Splats but for those who any software professionally, it's important to decide whether you are going to keep the applications updated to the supported operating system and other applications or if you're going to prevent the computer from getting updates in order to stick with the OS supported by the applications.

    VEIL OVER SCENES

    @Woodarc said in VEIL OVER SCENES: I had the axes in the wrong place and, in effect, was looking at the scenes from below ground level. FWIW, the "veil" wasn't due to the location of the axes. Just that the camera was below ground level and the style had ground displayed and Show ground from below turned on. The location of the the ground plane is fixed in the model space and not tied to the location of the axes. By default the axes are positioned such that red and green lie on the ground plane and cross at the origin. Moving the axes doesn't move the ground plane nor does it move the origin.

    Meantime I've managed to find a plugin which solves the case - tomtom, tt_guide_tools-1.4.1, maybe it will be usefull for someone as well. However if you have any other ideas - please let me know.

    What's your typical FOV in SketchUp when modelling? That might be throwing you off. I use 35mm in my startup file. But if I'm modelling from reference and use AI to estimate the FOV of the reference image and go from there. Unless the image has explicit camera data I can get from properties.

    @Rich-O-Brien said in Make Unique Texture giving weird results: Are you using the the Yellow pin to skew the image? That's UVW mapping which is not the same as your regular UV mapping which is purely 2D. If you skew an image in SketchUp you can introduce additional UV points so a plane with 4 verts could have 5 points when you view the UVs. [image: 1746549795145-7487ff2a-5f0f-4586-98bc-f32da2c43178-image.png] Hopefully this shows what I mean. I think if this type of mapping is where the issue may lie. Either its the new engine thats flaky or the destination app does not support UVW mapping. I could be wrong.....it has happened before....many many times. I don't use the coloured pins, I used the non "fixed pins". I think I understand how the UV mapping might get messed up when I first make the adjustments, but once the image is in place I simply "Make texture unique" and that used to resolve the issue.
