      It's a weak card. Trying adjusting the display style for SketchUp to minimize the effect

      Windows > Styles

      Under the edit tab have only Edges checked, Sky and Ground off and Display watermarks off that should help a bit.

      You can save that style to your default styles too πŸ˜‰

      To install Greeble

      You need offset.rb and progressbar.rb

      Place these in your Plugins folder and restart SketchUp

      Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

          Did you get the other required files for Greeble 2? Show us a screen shot of your Plugins folder.

          I think that you might be better off without the SCF PowerBar for the time being. You do need Progressbar.rb and Offset.rb. Did you install those? Don't run before you can walk.

              i have a new problem , sometimes on some elements i get this fragment of the picture in my model , i think this is the line of the picture downstairs in the home cinema, the jpeg i made for the projection wall

              http://i43.tinypic.com/6p22br.jpg

              the thing is about this new project im planning to go around with camera and make a tour of the house so i will not render, ill primarely film it , but thats thing i need to explore on the end, so the house itself needs to be perfect, as much as i can

                I didn't say you don't know anything at all. So from the image of your Plugins directory, the problem is clear. You haven't installed Greeble correctly. It is displayed as a text document instead of an RB file like your other plugins.

                    Probably you just didn't insert correct values.

                    See attached image, everything works fine- if this is what you want to achieve.

                    Btw, it's always better to attach an images which show the strange, weird, unwanted, mystic results πŸ˜‰

                        You're welcome..

                        It's always good to give an example of what you want to achieve, would have saved at least 2 minutes of my time πŸ˜‰

                        So,

                        • forget greeble in this case
                        • draw a rectangle in the size you want your brick / tile to be
                        • select rectange > make component
                        • copy as often you need to brick to be copied (use move, enter distance, type x(number))
                        • change appearance acc. to your liking (offset, pushpull, bevel, paint)
                          (-edit- components are instances, so if you doubleclick one and edit it, all others will be edited simultaneously)

                        done.

                        Maybe have a look at hot to use components at all and some basic SU tutorials- this will clear out many questions.
                        Good work so far, you should have stumbled over components on your way, probably you didn't.

                              You could have drawn a very small section of it and made a linear array to build the rest. It would be done much like the grille in this image.

                              Or the ceiling grid here.

                              Or the tiles on the floor.

                                  I don't remember where that brick texture came from. It might be one included with SketchUp.

                                  Perhaps you would find it useful to read the Help files about the Move tool. That's where you'll learn about making arrays.

                                            I could only get shadows darker a bit in PP. Do you mean that you would like to renderit darker?
