      Thanks Gaieus for your effort, but since I am still on V6 I can't open yours.
      I tried a diff style, but with the same result. I may have to approach the Google SU guys, see what they have to say.

      Again much appreciated.

          Once again many thanks for your effort, but I had the same result again, which means that the file is OK, but that either SU or my machine has a bug in relation to SU.
          The interesting thing is that the results are always different with different lines missing at different times.

          As usual you guys at this community rock. I don't know why this SU community has always stood out so much from other forums. I don't know but it has always been such a tight and friendly bunch all the way back to when I started with SU which was version 2.1. At least 8 years back. I never was a great contributor, but in my active days I was following this forum religiously.

          Keep it up folks

            Don't you want to try version 7? You could simply use the free version for the time being (not much difference as far as modelling goes actually). That way we could even see if it is rather your machine or the version.

            I tried with my version 6, too and there was no problem.

                Downloaded v7 and it works great. Prints are normal. So with your help we have pinpointed it to v6 being buggy.
                Great process and thanks for your help.

                  I hope you'll also notice how incredibly faster 7.1 is than 6 or 7.0!

                    No I haven't, as stated before I don't use SU much at the moment and I bought a new iMac 27" about a months ago, which is a real work horse by itself, slices through PS as if some of my 250Mb image files are butter.
                    Don't get me wrong I love SU and have done so from the beginning. I wish I had the work for it, but at the moment it is all photography.
                    One day I will upgrade to v7 Pro, when the work roles in. This seems to occur spasmodically and suddenly I am into SU every day again, looking forward to it.

                    Thanks

                      Hi Filip K,

                      I didn't see it as I scrolled through, but its always a great place to start when having rendering issues (on screen or off.) Try disabling Hardware Acceleration and see if the problem persists.

                      To turn the Hardware Acceleration option off:

                      1. Open the "SketchUp" menu.
                      2. Click "Preferences".
                      3. In the left pane, click "OpenGL".
                      4. In the right pane, clear the "Use Hardware Acceleration" check box.

                      This eliminates the possibility that its an issue with your graphics driver. You mentioned being on a new iMac, which size is it? Which version of OS X do you have installed?

                        Hello Jody,

                        That is exactly what the problem was. Now in what way does turning off Hardware acceleration affect the performance of SU?

                        I am on the iMac 27" With the latest OSX 10.6.2
                        Graphics card is: ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 Mb
                        8Gb Ram
                        screen resolution of these big ones is: 2560 x 1440

                        Many thanks Jody for your advise

                        Filip K.
