      Hi Sketchup community, I've contacted the Skalp team but until I hear back from them I wanted to see your thoughts as well.

      • As you can see the photos attached. I am getting z fighting with the skalp section, before the skalp section was crystal clear and looked great, what's happening with that?

      • Before I would place a skalp section and it would work no problem, now I can't even place a skalp section and have it fill properly. Do I have something wrong with the skalp layers I have turned on or what?

      Basically I've tried almost everything, before Skalp was working fine and I know the importance of using the tool and saving settings to scene for sections, I've read the manual, I reinstalled sketchup as an admin, I disabled all plugins, I completely got rid of skalp including in app data folder and reinstalled, restarted my computer etc, did it all and Skalp will just not make a section now and fill it with a texture with pattern by texture, pattern by object, by tag, etc, none of it works. What I've noticed before is that I'd make a section and it would automatically work and show the hatching right away after I made a skalp section with a scene, but now if I even want to see the hatching it is z fighting with sketchup and I can only see it if I manually turn off the "Display section cuts" button at top of screen and again it's still z fighting, I cannot see a clean skalp section hatching anymore with any options. See 1 minute video attached. Just wondering what I did wrong or if there are any style settings I'm missing. Really unsure at this point and unfortunatley I've lost so much valuable time trying to get skalp working again. Hopefully, someone here can help me soon. Thanks for your time.

      Description of video link below:

      You can see in the 1st skalp section created in the video that when I turn on "Section cut widths" the section shows with z fighting,

      You can see in the 2nd skalp section created in the video that when I create a skalp section about midway between that grouped solid that with "Section cut widths" on or off it doesn't even show the skalp section hatching now, at all.

      This is not correct behaviour in both cases in my experience, before I would create a skalp section and it would work, plain and simple and now no hatching works properly.

          I've never used Skalp so I can't help you on this. Sorry.

            It's worth noting that you have posted this in a section of the forum that is closed to many users, Dave could move it, if you want him to, to an open section so you get more views, possibly from people that actually use skalp.

                HI

                I'm new to the Forum and don't know where to find the continuation of this conversation ... It seems relocated?

                I'm having ENDLESS issues with SKALP with no support/ feedback from the SKALP team it been 2 months of endless emails send .....

                Hugely frustrated in having to deal with what seems like a plugin bought that is not ready for release? I'm talking version 4 on 2019 mac and the latest on sketchup pro 2020 mac.

                All their tutorials/ manual is hugely outdated.

                I'm hardheaded and really want this to work but its costing me my project with so much time wasted ... literally tried every possible route (same as ArayaCAD did) and have now come to a dead-end 😞

                Any advice, even a different route to get hold of Guy from SKALP would be much appreciated!
