Very weird render from SketchUp - An ideas?

Albion Man

Hi,

I was stuck in work in last night til 9pm trying to produce some standard renders from SketchUp. I was getting some very weird results.

Because of this problem I gave up and went home and used my home computer to render the final images.
As you can see from the attached files my home PC worked as expected.
This is a very weird problem that I have never come across before.
Any ideas what the problem could be?

Interior Renders_02_CORRECT.jpg (This is how the image should look. This was produced by me on my PC at home).
Interior Renders_02_WEIRD.jpg (This is the result I was getting using SketchUp on my employers workstation).

I am using the exact same version of SketchUp (7.1) at work and at home.
And I am loading the exact same saved file on each.

The faulty render looks as though it is rendering in some curious cross between normal textured and X-Ray mode. Weird!

I have contacted our IT department to check this out.
I assume they will just do a fresh install.
But I was wondering if any of you have come across this problem before.

Any help appreciated.

Regards
Albion Man

Is that what you see in the SU viewport?
In which canse I'd think it's a graphic card driver issue. Temporary disable hardware acceleration. If that fixes it, update the drivers.

If that is the output from when you Export 2D - then I have no idea...

Hi,

Yes, it is the output from when you Export 2D.
Looking at the scene via the viewport everything looks fine.
