This is happening because you are using a displacement based material on geometry that is not meant for displacement -- for more info on how to resolve this see this thread: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=38223 Best, Jason.

reverse the face and apply texture. your rendering will be fine..

upstairs_downstairs2.skp. BTW not my tut. See if this helps

In a PC: right click the file -> Properties -> Previous Versions TAB If you moved or copied the file, it won't work

Thanks

@tig said: You can't BUT you could change the section lines to be thin [1] with a color to match the main background [e.g. white] - edit/make a new Style... aaaah those little little things.... thanks a lot

Thank you Dave Thank you Gaieus Thank you Sonder I will not be rendering the scenes with an outside rendering application and I also want to keep the model dynamic for further design developemant so this leads me to using scenes in layout as you suggest. Thank you for other ideas also. Paul

I've got no excuse. I've been out clubbing with friends and the time change has thrown me. I'm trying to resist turning on my PC as I'll probably end up modelling all night. With my user name I was trying to mix up my real name with an interest with Egyptology, but only recently realised that it was a pretty common Japanese name. It seems to catch a lot of people out. When the haze has cleared, it would still be good to hear if you have any thoughts on the truangulation issue. Think of it as splitdonut in reverse.

Thank you so much Dave, I will try all you said since I do have to learn to do it by myself.

Using 123D Catch from autoCAD I was relatively pleased with the elephant which is fairly complex form so I thought I would test a simple case like a box for dimensional accuracy and I ended up with some surrealistic and cubistic, but not rectilinear results. I would love to sit down and wrestle this thing to the ground but I am moving down close to the Mexico border and also have an important photojob to do and need to sell the Phoenix house. When and if things slow down I will give this 123D thing another run.

Thanks much Jeff, that did the trick

They will both update the current scene-tab. However, in the dialog you can select more than one scene and update several aspects of them at once, and of course you can check/uncheck certain aspects so that only certain things are 'saved/remembered'. Usually each tab will save [remember] all of its settings like its camera etc. But in my 'Troubleshooting' tab only another style is invoked whilst the camera is not affected, so changing to that tab leaves the view unchanged but changes other aspects like line styles etc... Updating a tab should only be done after careful consideration, especially if it's linked into Layout...

Thank Roger and Gilles... I will check those things out soon. Both looks very interesting but the tools from Thomtom reminds me of Artcam. It turns a 2D Image to a 3D model. I think I've seen the demo in Youtube.

All right, Solid Solver, too.

I'll keep looking in that section. I can't believe sometimes what a slow learner I can be... smoothed, hidden, texture scales, etc.. Thanks very much for your help. [image: trees-5.JPG]

Hi everyone, Chiming in here from the SketchUp team: it's very likely that the licenses in question here are not valid. A few folks on the forum have already mentioned the not-for-resale clause of SketchUp's end-user license agreement; to clarify, we can arrange for the transfer of a valid license upon request. However, in this case, we can't validate that they are valid SketchUp Pro licenses in the first place. I'm not saying at all that helinbak's intentions are malicious (in fact, his posts on this thread prove that he isn't), but I do want to give everyone a heads-up for when they see licenses like this in the future. If anyone has questions about these licenses or how to transfer a valid license, please use contact the SketchUp Pro sales team here: http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/request.py?contact_type=sales Mark

Nice idea, and thanks very much for the example. I'll try it. Thanks, Charlie.
