Enabling Anti-aliasing
-
Hi!
I just started using Sketchup and would like to enable anti-aliasing to smooth out the nasty jaggies. Unfortunately the option doesn't come up in the list under Preferences->OpenGL. It's all 0x in the list. I tried the Hardware Acceleration option also. I have an ATI Radeon X800 XT, Windows XP. Is it possible to download drivers that will fix that, or is this a hardware issue?
Thanks!

Have you got a video card control panel of some sort? i ave vague recollections of having to set anti aliasing to 'application controlled' in a control panel.
Getting the latest drivers wouldnt hurt, either.

Hi Thork,
Antialiasing option only turns up if your card supports it. I used to have a machine with an ATI Radeon x550 (I guess, not "far" from yours) and although i didn't have serious display problems with it, it didn't offer any antialiasing (besides 0x of course). You seem to have the same issue here.
I got used to the ugly look however, and when exporting images, you can set antialiasing handled by the software itself so unless you really hate the look while working, it is really not a big deal.
(Of course, I love my new machine with antialiasing set to 4x now)

Cool thanks Gaieus. What video card do you have now?
