I don't know if the Omega drivers will solve the problem, however in the past when I had ATi GFX cards I only used the Omega Drivers, they're good and help to speed things up a little.

Is there a good marriage?
Joke!

Cinema 4D is a great program that can not only animate quite well, it can also render well too. It is a bit like max but I find it far easier to learn. I have not used it in a while (just have not needed it) but I would say it will work for what you are looking for and give far better results than any of the other recommendations. Granted it is a bit of change but I think in the long run it will be the right choice.

then it is no trace but drawing, is it?

thanks guys, i've never worked in 3DS, only to export models that i got on the net, so i really don't know how to scale for exemple, but this is a sketchup forum so i will try it myself. if anyone has more information about the broken pieces and some way to solve this, i'd aprecciate. 💚

Click the Arc's icon
Enter on the numeric keyboard the wished number (48 for example)+ Enter
Draw your arc
You will have a cool smoothed arc ☀
number entered is written on the little window right bottom corner screen!

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you very much for the link.

With best regards

It sounds like the lines arent intersecting with the floor, although i could be wrong. To fix this, select all the lines, right click->intersect->with model.

If that doesnt work could you psot a pic of the problem? it can be useful in sorting this sort of thing out 😉

I´ve had that issue on a macbook. No need to disable hardware acceleration, which makes things slooooow. Just disable fast feedback and your problem should disappear.

cheers

i love the look of the second one.

very nice

I've got the latest drivers considered stable with my hardware and OS...
I changed the fast feedback setting, at it helped immensely... it's at least usable now! Thanks!

Is there a limit on how big SU can export (on any computer) then? Because surely as a 32 bit app it can only address a small bit of memory?

Yes, as Jacob says, the trick is to do a cut and then group, then cut within group.
Takes several steps to do this. I think a ruby script could perhaps be done:

Have you ever tried to uninstall and clean all files dedicated to SU and reinstall? Also if you are not using the latest version, maybe updating helps. If you can not fix it, go on windows version.

Import image to be projected (or apply the texture you want to project on to a flat surface.)

Explode the image (if imported), right click it->texture->projected.

Select the paint bucket tool, hold the alt key (changes it to a sampling tool) sample the texture and apply it to your curved face.

You could also try turning on hidden geometry and then painting the faces with the same texture, but rotated around. This would keep the irregular geometry of the bowl, as well.
