Odd appearance - how do I get rid of this?
-
Usually this kind of behavior is directly linked to your GPU. The best thing you can do is to look if your GPU drivers are up to date and if the preference options [found under Window/Preferences/OpenGL in Sketchup] are correct.
-
Is this an import from another program? I've had similar display issues importing .dwgs. I solved it by exploding the components/groups (I did each one separately, then re-grouped the geometry).
-
That is weird...
Does it occur at round shapes perhaps? I still suggest you go to the OpenGl settings and click about, see what changes. It might not be visible in other models, but it couldn't hurt to try out. Enable hardware acceleration to begin with and then try the different options available. [ps. don't use fast feedback if you don't have to eg. if your GPU is up to par...]
-
On the other hand, it could also be the scale of the object. If it is grouped, explode as suggested above. Otherwise try drawing it bigger than it is. SketchUp will behave strangely like this if the drawing is very small [or if your GPU isn't correctly installed, but that doesn't seem to be the question here...]
-
Don't know what is causing the sculling issue. But, how many sides make up the circle? You said 12, but I think see more (24?).
-
Perhaps something you did in the formation of that disk has caused doubling of coincident faces, and perhaps that is what is called z fighting? Just a guess.
Not to get off topic but just to mention possibilities:
This morning I encountered a quirk where, due to multiple coincident groups I had a face that could be highlighted but did not display after exploding. -
Could you extract a group/component that is having that problem and (a) see if it has the same problem in another file and (b) if so, post it so we can see if it the file or your computer?

Haha, I was going to put the same idea here... A golden tip for SketchUp is, when all is lost, copy in a new SketchUp file
This will also do wonders for 'clipping'. I'm afraid that's the only solution I can help you with, since it is none of the other options. [although you might try to 'fix' the drawing: Window/Model info/Statistics to see if that has some effect on the drawing]*ps. I was talking about the scale of the drawing in my last comments

To me this looks like the visual distortion that appears when the model is very far (miles/kilometers) from the SU model origin. It usually happens when modeling on a CAD import of a site plan or similar that uses a coordinate system from a digital map, and the "preserve original coordinates" option is checked in the Import Options.

Instead of playing a thousand and one question why not upload the model to the 3 d warehouse so it can be looked like in detail. That would probably save a lots of time??
The model size seems very large 55MB vs what appears should be simple and looks like aliasing but not quite. Make sure you purge your model and get rid of all extraneous things not in the model or I would even go further and get rid of all materials , cleanup removing stray edges and see what happens when coplanar faces are removed although will probably break your model. At that size you may need to zip it to upload if it will compress far enough. For such a simple model why not re draw and see if problem comes back??
What does this look like in just 2d with out the extruded thickness?? Is there any hidden geo causing the large file size?
Have you tried w/o hardware accel? Have you tried adjusting the anti alias??
The more I look at image the more I am thinking it is a small size issue.
Can you explain why the apparent break across the dia. Use the create.
face tool that comes with SU and select the edges of one of those a see if you can force face formation.
Is the large file size from other portions of the model you are not showing in the image?
BTW way you are around the corner, Littleton here
