If displaying the model is better, then update your graphics card driver to (better) support OpenGL. Enable 'Use hardware acceleration' again and restart SketchUp again and continue happy modeling.

Thanks. I went ahead and hid the top 'offending' surface of the trusses and this seems to work as suggested in the linked info. I like the idea of creating a layer and then turning it off and on in the scenes as needed. All good and thanks again for the help.

can you make your own animated models for lumion?

Look for TIG's Split Donut in the Sketchucation Plugin Store. It would draw in the needed miter lines. I don't know of a faster way to split the parts out, though. Having them as components you drag in as needed is probably the best way. As for using your cutlist to get prices, you could do that pretty easily in Excel or another spreadsheet program. Since the cutlist always has the same format, you could have a sort of template file you put the CSV file into.

I wonder why 2048 is considered "maximum texture size" even if graphic cards may support 16k? @unknownuser said: Any way to force SU to go bigger Draw edges to split faces and texture images into "tiles", with each tile displaying 2048×2048 pixels? It's possible but not trivial to do with the Ruby API ( UVHelper.get_XYZ is missing, and workaround is slow), and for the modeler such a model would be harder to modify.

Sure! And curiously I had belived that Artisan can make the corners but no! May round corner By Fredo6? So cavern modern houses! [image: vS3f_lightup3.jpg] [image: 0CXN_lightup4.jpg] And no jealousy! [image: Uxnq_lightup6.jpg]

Zoom out and you will start to see the true origins of various components appearing at some distance. The origin of a group or component needs to be near itself or you get clipping etc.

It is possible or not, it is better to keep everything clear. it is a "bad" habit of autocad users who expect everything be like autocad.. I.e. spacebar in 3Dsmax will be a nightmare for a noob, (it will lock the last selection) and it is "pan" in PhotoShop..... better to use competition car for competing and personal car for ordinary jobs not like a tracktor.

I think the issue was cached images from Vray. Once I had moved the original images everything worked as expected. Occasionally I had to resize the image texture to match the original, but all sorted.

@dave r said: Did you try turning off Profiles? Or do that AND turn of Edges. It seems to me you asked this before at least once. Yip I did I think, if so it would be few years back anyway it was the profiles thanks

The initially released version of SketchUp 2014 for PCs, was found to have an issue if the SKP was opened from a drive which wasn't the same [system] drive on which SketchUp.exe and its related Tools folder was installed. It also unexpectedly had other issues with reading Plugins folders when there were accented characters or single quotes in your User name. A new updated version is available from the Trimble download site - it addresses those issues. So if you get/install that and still have these problems then maybe we need to look deeper...

Welcome to SCF. So first of all, none of it is real. SketchUp isn't attempting to perfectly recreate things like transparency. On the other hand, because you would be looking through the blue cylinder twice to see that part of the yellow one, the idea of making the blue more dense in that area makes sense. You might be able to improve the appearance by changing the transparency quality setting under the Edit tab for Styles. You might also find that changing OpenGL settings has an impact. If you are really concerned about creating an accurate representation of the transparency, you should be running your model through a rendering application. They are designed to handle that sort of thing.

Thanks a lot that seems to work! great help!

Yes also!

Also, tried running install a second time, selected "Repair", still no go. Dead in the water until Tech support replies to my request.
