I think what you want is like a variable pitch helix. The curve of the helix begins from a horizontal plane then begins the helix and at the top the pitch transitions to another horizontal plane. In Sketchup you'd have to mess with the line segments. I tried finding something in Blender and haven't found anything. I'm still a novice with that. It looks like Solidworks and Rhino can do something like that.

@Dave-R It happens on every single model though. If I use the pins to stretch an image to fit a flat surface in Sketchup where it looks fine, I then look at it in a render software (I've had this in 3 renderers so far) and it's a mess, so I found that by making the material unique it resolved the issue in all softwares - that is until I use the new graphics engine.

Hi, @Gus-R.

How you doin'? Thanks for your answer.

I've already watched most of Justin's material over dynamic objects, as well as many other developers'. His contents are very good and were a little elucidating for me, but, unfortunately, the solution to my problem doesn't lie there.

Would you have any other recommendations?

@micagarbarini share the .skp file so we can see what you are working with.

@Leggy Never experienced it. Best thing to do is rule out extensions by renaming your plugins folder to prevent it loading to see if running in vanilla remedies it.

If yes, then you need to track down what is causing the issue.

If no, it maybe be hardware related so poke about the settings to see if lowering values sort things out.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks again Rich, I kind of remembered that but forgot about the right click ad was looking in the materials window for projected.

I find the AO style looks more dirty than AO. Its like a cavity map mixed with AO. Not your scene just in general.

Looks great for exterior stuff but object filled interiors looks a bit grimy.

Nice to see them gives Styles some attention though. I always felt that StyleBuilder was really an opportunity for SketchUp to have a companion app that allowed us to do NPR rendering etc.

Your scene is nice though.

@Gábor

An odd title indeed...

According to GoogleTranslate...
This [аываырпукфрерп] refers to generally good things... e.g.

'Thanksgiving' in many diverse languages...

e.g. in Assamese from NE India... OR Aymara from the Bolivian Andes... OR Bambara from Mali in Africa... OR Bhojpuri from that India and Nepal... OR Dhevehi from the Maldives... OR Dogri from Jammu and Kashmir [India]... OR Ewe / Twi from Ghana and Togo... OR Guarani from Paraguay... OR Ilocano from the Philippines... OR Konkani from Western India... OR Krio from Sierra Leone... OR Sorani Kurdish... OR Lingala from the Congo [Bantu]... OR Luganda from the African central lakes... OR Maithili from India and Nepal... OR Meitei / Manipuri / Mizo from Tibet and NE India... OR Oromo from Ethiopia / Kenya... OR Quechuan from Peru and the Andes... OR Sanskrit the ancient language from the Indian subcontinent... OR Sepedi [Sotho] / Tsonga from NE South Africa... OR Tigrinya from Tigray...

OR it could mean 'Andhra Pradesh' [SE India] in simplified Chinese...
OR it could mean 'Ayurvedic Medicine' in Hindi...
OR it could mean 'Pain Free' in Tatar...
OR it could mean 'Don't Worry' in Turkmen...
OR it could mean 'The Difference' in Uryghur [Turkic Central Asia]...

But I suspect it's just a gibberish title that coincidentally has some meaning[s]...
I think your answer will resolve it !

That's UV projection.

Select the face in SketchUp, right click and check if its set to Projected.

@Rich-O-Brien no worries. i replied just to document the steps in case anyone was experiencing it... 🙂

@ijkfraser this is a known issue in SketchUp 2023. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

@Joe-Wood If you click the dropdown does setting it to Notification and Email work for you?
