        Hi Superchicken (nice name BTW - and welcome to the forums,too) 😉

        In that second screenshot, are they two SU windows on top of each other or even those toolbars are doubled?

        Well,anyway, try this test: go to Window > Preferences > OpenGL and there, disable hardware acceleration. This very much looks like some kind of display issue.

        If this seems to help, try to update your video driver instead of leaving it off because it may slow down SU

        Gai...

            This shows how to make a transparent material. in SketchUp. Sorry, no audio, just video.

            Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.
