    BlenderGIS can get you pretty good images.. you do need an API key to get set up but it's all free and you can even generate 3d geometry based on the elevations in the satellite images.. it tiles in blender so you the more you zoom the better the image quality to a point.

    If you view in Monochrome mode are you sure the material is applied onto a 'front'. If your Style has a distinctively back-face color versus front-face then you'll see it clearly. Most renderers do not render back-faces, even when they have a material... PS: Posting a simple example SKP would also help us help you...

    Well I finally got around to trying this fix [image: 2017-02-03_221211.png] and it worked! Set my values at 60 and now even my largest model can be worked with no problems. Unfortunately I had already reset the laptop back to the original factory settings in anticipation of selling it, which meant that I had to do all the updates again (a real pain in the butt), and copy almost 700GB worth of data over to it (including my 369GB Sketchup Stuff folder). Now I get to do all the fine-tuning (again). Fun time. See what trouble you caused me, Rich?

    You should post post your model SU V8 so everyone can open it, also if some of the groups are not solid try Solid solver (TIG) or/and solid inspector (Thomthom). Then select all the groups you want to intersect with the major group, explode them and group, you should have a solid group; proceed outershell.

    Thanks for the suggestions Moujiik. I downloaded Rhino 5 evaluation version this morning and it handled the conversion perfectly. ...Plus now I get to play with Rhino for the next 3 months!

    @dave I think the OP is flagging the blurring to the texture at the end of the corridor. I could be wrong though. To me it is a natural artifact because the pixels of the image are smaller than the pixels on the screen.

    @box said: Don't hold ctrl, just tap it, it is a toggle. Guide on guide off,you'll even see the little guide line symbol disappear and reappear. For some unknown reason they reversed the default in 2017. Damn, never noticed that. The toggle on seems to be the default on my puter. Never needed a reason to toggle off.

    Yeah. You nailed it. The smoothing issue is very apparent when using radial bend in FredoScale. Simply entering edit mode nukes the strange appearance. I tried that with this flickering issue but it didn't work.

    Nevermind I solved it. The ramp entrance level was not 100% flat with the rest of the floor. I used the push/pull tool to make sure all the surfaces was perfectly on the same level and it worked.

    I'm familiar with Thea, I actually own a copy. I have not tried it since I now have compatible GPUs installed on my machine. Unity provides animation capabilities that neither Thea nor Octane can currently create in reasonable amount of time. And just in as important for my needs, you can output to a VR headset. I'll be sure and check out Thea soon. Thx!

    Have you checked your FBX export options ? I think they should look like this ? [image: Capture.PNG] Otherwise the doubled up faces could double up vertices etc ?

    That warning comes from Dynamic Components, doesn't it? Try closing the DC Windows before which ever operation you are attempting.

    Pres, I always resize them, usually to 2000 pix wide, I do this to get rid of the jaggies. But I'll play around with your suggestions about the line weight! I've never messed around with the depth cue before so I'll give that a try too. Thanks for that advice!

    Start here: https://youtu.be/2hSyw6bobpc?list=PL190C90DCE62242C9 and then https://youtu.be/gX4C9To9Oiw?list=PL190C90DCE62242C9 Pay attention to the fact that you need images straight as they come from the camera. No cropping or other manipulation of the perspective.
