    It was flaky last week, when drag-n-drop of the RBZ didn't work on some specific OSs, but then navigating to the RBZ file and selecting it would still work... I'm surprised it's not been properly fixed by now.

    @Mike-Amos I agree. My wife has a '23 Kia Sportage and it fully digital. I mean there are only 2 physical knobs on the info/stack. It's a great vehicle but pretty boring to drive. I much prefer my "analog" car and it's quirks. [image: 1739387233542-screenshot_2.jpg]

    For the monitors, do you have the stickiness option activated in the Default Parameters. This forces the vignette stripe to follow the main Sketchup window. [image: 1739383382505-93d70a06-d4de-4d3e-825a-a55345d628a7-image.png] For the issue when moving icons between palettes, I cannot reproduce it on SU2024, and latest versions of LibFredo6 and LOTT. Are you sure you do not get errors in the Ruby console? What happens if you move an icon to an empty palette?

    As a piece of abstract ?art? it has a certain no idea what. I suppose a five year old might have it on their wall but anything else? Nada.

    It may have something to do with the chip shortages.

    J'avais entré : a very complex colored transparent engine Sympa il me donne un cours! :nerd: 1 Conceptual Design: Sketching: Start with rough sketches to outline the basic structure of the engine. Consider the components you want to include, such as pistons, cylinders, valves, and the cooling system. Style: Decide on the style and complexity. For a futuristic look, you might incorporate sleek lines and unconventional shapes. 2 Color Scheme: Choosing Colors: Select a color palette that reflects the desired mood. For a futuristic engine, neon colors or metallic hues could work well. Transparency Effects: Determine which parts will be transparent. This could include glass or clear plastic components, or even holographic elements. 3 3D Modeling: -Software: Use 3D modeling software like Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max to create a digital model of the engine. -Detailing: Add intricate details to the model, such as textures, reflections, and shadows to enhance realism. 4- Rendering: -Lighting: Set up lighting to highlight the transparent and colored parts of the engine. Materials: Apply materials with transparency and color properties to different parts of the engine. Final Touches: 5 -Post-Processing: Use image editing software like Photoshop to add final touches, such as glows, lens flares, or other effects to enhance the visual appeal. Animation: If desired, animate the engine to show it in operation, highlighting the moving parts and transparent sections. Would you like to see a visual illustration of this concept? Moi bien sûr : yes! [image: 1739210920054-1edf5fa4-5ed9-48ce-a073-e40c99141bcb.jpg]

    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?

    @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.

    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.
