      Well, at least upgrade from SU 5 to 6 was free - you could've tried it. Now to 7 it is 95$.

      There've been serious improvements in both steps. Whether it is MUCH better or not; you should try. Good news is that you can always try the free version and decide if you need the "extras" later.

                    Hi Mauricio and welcome to the forums.

                    Sure you can post examples and hope there are people who can help you (I also have IDX Renditioner although I have to tell you that I have not had much time to to fully get around it yet).

                      Hi Mauricio,

                      I'm William and I'm with IDX. I'm on these forums from time to time, mostly learning about SketchUp. If you have specific Renditioner questions I should be able to help you. For general rendering and SketchUp questions the Gallery area here is fantastic for quick feedback! If they are narrow questions about how to do x or y, you will probably get faster help on the IDX forums at http://forums.idx-design.com.

                              Hello all. My name is Jeremy and am about to install SketchUp. I am a little unsure about SketchUp being the software I need. My actual need is for a 3d posable model of a spider monkey. The visual surfaces of the model are less important than the ability to pose the model and use still photos of the various poses for some silouette artwork. Is SketchUp capable of manipulating a model in this way? I really hope it is as the free aspect of the program makes it very attractive! Let me know your thoughts and if SketchUp will be able to get me where I am going?

                              Jeremy

                                      Hello Ronald and welcome. Your models look interesting so keep them coming and if you have any question,just feel free to ask.

                                      Jeremy, welcome too. I'm afraid SU is not the best tool for this although I have already seen such things by experts.

                                      Hi James - yes, what the others suggesdted above. Hopefully we will soon have a better index of plugins but until then that search function is the best.

                                        hello there

                                        i just discovered sketchup and im totally amazed by the possibilities, and how easy it all is.
                                        i'm currently checking out all the tutorials on youtube and trying things out, i have however a little problem.

                                        when i try out things in sketchup sooner or later it starts acting weird, my cursor starts leaving a sort of trace of the tool i was using at the moment. i cant imagine that's normal

                                        i attached a screen shot to show what i mean, can anybody help me?

                                        thanks
                                        gj

                                          Looks like an opengl problem to me.

                                          Make sure youve got the latest drivers for your graphics card. If that doesnt fix it, go in to SU window->preferences->openGL then turn of hardware acceleration.

                                            thanks for that!, turning off the hardware acceleration seems to work, im not sure what i actually did there though. will turning that off effect anything else in the program?
