    @pixelcruncher This is fantastic; it looks like there might be some strong competition for the ambient occlusion rendering engine.

    https://www.swisstransfer.com/dl/01a1bda1-f434-7164-9ea8-a97f73fa6a29 un lien vers le fichier https://www.swisstransfer.com/dl/01a1bda1-f434-7164-9ea8-a97f73fa6a29 mais depuis j'ai installé une extension concoctée par Chat GPT pour un mode sombre sketchup qui marchait très bien et Animator a perdu toute fluidité, la petite animation des vu mètres semble inactive et la lecture dans le viewport du clip est saccadée c'est difficilement utilisable. avant l'installation de l'extension, c'était fluide, je ne comprends pas. Cette extension utilise les palettes Qt (je n'y connaîs rien) et le fait de la désinstaller n'a rien changé. mais je me suis quand même dit qu'il y avait un lien..

    Check the Computer Clock This is my problem! Is anyone else experiencing this? It started ever since I updated the Fredo plugins (also in 2026).If I reinstall the previous versions, everything works fine. With the update, I get that error. It only happens with all the plugins under FREDO6. [image: Captura de pantalla 2026-11-05 101259.png] [image: Captura de pantalla 2026-11-05 101422.png]

    @Leggy It would be much easier to help you if you were able to take a proper full screenshot from your computer and phrase your request using complete coherent sentences. ‍

    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.
