      Hi there first time poster. Im using sketchup 2026 waw working on a model. It is set up with components and everything looked and was working fine until i used 3D text.
      all of a sudden, all objects have graphical gliches and you can see parts of the inside/backside.
      ive already triede switching the graphical settings to classic and the other way around.

      • you can see i have a lot of extentions but they have not been used the entire time (and i have had these forever). i havent used the 3D text fuction in quite a while though.
      • you can see back edges is not activated
      • the last picture is from windows 3d viewer. i had exported one of the parts to an stl a while before this hapened. ive added it to give an impression of what you are looking at.

        I'd say that's hardware related. Maybe a low end GPU or integrated GPU?

        Have a look at Preferences > Graphics

        SketchUp 2026 Graphic Preferences

        See if switching the engine remedies things.
