Lines Flash On Seams
-
When I make models, frequently the seams will be a different color. See pict. How do I resolve this?
Thanks

Normally that is because there is an internal face that also meets at that seam. By deleteing that face you can normally clear that extra color.
Another thing that will help is to paint the faces inside the same color as the outside. That also reduces color flashing.
I'll see if I can post a .skp to illustrate this better.

ok, I made a quick tutorial model that shows how to clean this up. Click from scene to scene to go through the sequence of the tutorial. Hope that helps,

you are quick Chris

TY
I would have been lots faster on the tutorial but I did a load of laundry in the middle. Hopefully I'm helpful too!Chris

With large models, wont painting both sides of surface slow the display? After all you end up with twice the painted surface SU need to process.

Man you were quick.
Thank you for taking the time to provide an outstanding example. That really helped.Because you provided workarounds, I guess the flashing seams are the nature of the beast. Yes?
Before posting I did a search. Not many people seem to complain about this. It's possible I did not use the proper words in my search.Thanks again,

Rastus, here is a tutorial I put together a while ago if it is any help.

Ridix,
It depends much on your hardware setup. If you have a decent graphics card and your OpenGL hardware acceleration works, adding textures does not slow down SU much. Adding geometry (edges, faces) makes SU sluggish much earlier. Somewhere here (or in the old forum) is a test file by Alan Fraser with about 1000 trees that are simple PNG images, and the model orbits and zooms beautifully even on my old ATI 9200 card. 3D trees even without textures would maybe make my computer burn...
