      Hi there!

      I am working at a big shop fitting company in Germnay. We are doing interior Design, and sometimes i get enough time doing SketchUp Models of planned shops.
      SU works works really good so far, and i´ve made several models with it, which were all a big success, ending in actually bulding these shops.

      Of course i have some things i don´t really like about SU, but they are more little problems. My biggest problem is making screenshots of the models using drawing Styles i made by myself, esiacially with shadows enabled. Sometimes i create a new scene, rotate the cam just like it want it, als SU need just some seconds to "render" the scene with shadows in hand drawing style. But sometimes i have to wait about 10 Minutes? The funny thing is, when i have finally made the new scene, wwaiting for 10 Minutes, i rotate the cam just slightly and the new screen takes just some seconds!

      So my question is: The my selfmade handdrawing style corrupt in some way? or ist it just luck to get the cam in a position which "renders" fast? It´s really annoying i must say, especialle when your boss stands behind you and waits for the screenshots 😄

      Maybe somebody can tell me ...

        Styles with special edges like that takes much longer for SU to process. Shadows also adds a great amount of time.

        What you are best of doing is making your camera adjustments with a quick normal style and only toggle on your custom style when you are ready to export.

          Well, i already tried this ... but in some angles the problem still occurs 😞 Is it possible that the style i made myself is to "complex"? I could imagine that it takes more time to render a style thats build on many strokes...
