      Is it possible to add a custom background within sketchup? I know some render programs will have this but I would like to have the image in sketchup if possible.

          Or you can make a hemisphere over your model or a large cylinder around it and paint an image onto the inside of it.

            Thanks for the tips, I know about the spere or even just a square/oblong face for 'painting' a background on it is difficult for distance/scale issues as I want some renders at different ranges. The watermark tip is something I did not have a clue about but it just does not get there having a strange appearance but then I could be in error with scaling during import. I will have to try some different models for comparison. Thanks for your suggestions, another day with new lessons.
