      Hello Everyone. I am an Environmental Graphic Designer new to SketchUp. I have been playing around with SketchUp for about 3 wks now recreating signage systems that I have done in Illustrator. I am trying to import a vector logo but when I do, the logo appears in an invisible bounding box that creates a square shadow rather than a clean logo. Any suggestion to what I can do to correct this? Thanks!!!

        Sounds like your importing it as a transparent png file. I dont suppose you can export it from illustrator as a vector file then import that in to SU? thatd be the quickest way, otherwise you'd have to explode the logo then trace around it to get the shadows looking good.

          Thanks Remus. I'll give it a try. By the way, I'm working on a Mac... don't know if that makes a difference or not.
