      That was my first guess, too, but then those wireframe things got me thinking. That could be hardly reproducible (although you never know...) πŸ˜‰

        i am running the latest SU7 Pro build (7.0.10248) on an iMac 2.16 ghz, core 2 duo, 3gb ram, OS X 10.4.11.

        thomas, you may have a point about the card hypothesis. running the same file on my macbook pro (SUp latest build, mac OS X 10.5.6) did not have the same result. none of what i described above happened. but then why is this happening only on some sections and not on others?

        any way, you can download the file from

        thanks.

          Just had a brainwave. At least for screenshot #2. Is your sectioncut located inside a group or component?

          no, the section is not located inside any group or component.

            I had a look Edson and nothing abnormal or unusual. It must be your machine I believe. Could you temporarily turn off hardware acceleration (Sketchup . Preferences . OpenGL)?

                On my primary system Q9450 2.66GHz, nVidia Geforce 8800GT, Windows 7 Beta 64bit: everything normal
                On my secondary computer, P4 HT, 2.8GHz, ATI Radeon 9800, Windows Vista 32bit: everything normal.
                On my olg G4 Mac Mini (second generation) 1.25GHz, some ATI graphic card I think: I see the exact same bugs. Even the wireframe thing.

                So it looks like it's a Mac issue. Not sure how to update graphic card driver on Mac, so I was unable to try that.

                Also don't know why it happens with some cuts and some not. I suppose there's some trigger combination that has to match.

                  as far as i know, there is no way to update a graphic card on mac.

                  it must be an ATI Radeon card-related problem as i have no problems on my macbook pro with GEForce 8600.

                    Never seen this either, must be a video card issue.

                    There is no way to upgrade you GPU on a Mac? I cannot confirm this as I always assumed Mac's updates included current firmware and drivers.

                      On Mac only , since my Windows ATI Radeon worked fine.
                      Has Apple dropped support for these cards? No way to obtain drivers from ATI?

                        what i meant is that the user cannot download a driver and update his card. the updates are probably included on each system upgrade.
