Daylight portals

[archigrafix]

When I use daylight portals for my interior renderings I sometimes get weird "lighting" lines.
After many test I see that it only happens when there's an image texture on the surface (wall) where the daylight (window)is created.
It would be easier to explain if I could show an image...
Maybe by email?

Thanks for sending the images. We will see if we can fix it.

In the first image there are strange lighting lines...
in the 2nd one the lines - none

The 2 skp files are the same, except that in the first one I applied a texture image to the wall that contains the window.

I have tried it in many ways with different files...it happens all the time when there's a texture image on the wall.
Thanx for your help

I was able to "fix" this by adding a small border to the window with no texture.

Perhaps this will help while we try to figure out what is wrong.

Actually, I should have test rendered your model before adding the border.

It works in the latest version - which you do not have yet.

You rendered it in the HH14 version. In the latest version it renders properly. I will release it next week.

I am impatient for this update Al... Waiting for your "gift" cause today its my birthday!
thanx
PS:
I continue testing your wonderful soft:
1- cutting planes do not work at all
2- Material problems:
Using AR3 materials (you told me material library are old AR3 no?): many advanced fonctions dont work (procedural bumps, angle blend etc...)
When creating NXT materials: procedural bumps work exept "pyramid"
angular blend=> crash sketchup.
Hope it helps...
