      Hi there,

      I'm pretty new to Sketchup and new to these forums. The last time I spent any time seriously creating 3D models was in QBSP (A Quake level editor from way back), which I used to make 3D logos for a school project (and, of course, quake levels). I've found sketchup quite easy to learn, easier than mosr other software I've tried.

      Anyway, I have a question. I'm trying to avoid the gouraud shading effect and just have flat colour on the surfaces. Is this possible?

      Cheers πŸ˜‰

        If you don't want lighting to have any effect open the window>Shadows menu and select 'use sun for shading' and put the dark slider up to 100.

          Looks like you have to set Dark to 100 and Light to 0.
          Cheers for the tip!
