Strange view area in sketchup
-
Hi all,
I got this model which has really weird dark squares on the left and right side of the screen. I tried everything from styles to watermarks but I can't seem to get rid of them. I continued the model in a new sketchup file so it isn't bothering me anymore. But i would really like to know the cause of the problem. The origin was a v6 file but it stayed in v7 also.
Anyone has expierenced this before?
Regards,
Quintus

When using some rendering plugins this is the rendering area - for instance with Indigo.

Thanks for your quick response. I guess that probably is the problem.

It's related to a camera with an image aspect-ratio that doesn't match the screen's...

FixAspectRatio by Rick Wilson should fix those (most of the times).

There has been several discussions on this on the Thea forum http://www.thearender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20399#p20399. Apparently it is called letterboxing. There are a couple of code snippets in the above link that can be typed into the console. I know they work for the .skp files I use in for rendering in Thea, I think they may work for files created by another exporter as well, but it may take a ruby guru to verify this.
