      I am looking to render a model with a sort of false perspective. I want to see the front of the building flat on, but also see the side of the building like in parallel projection. I also want to tilt it upwards so I can see the roof. If you see the cube below only the verticals are straight, the horizontals aren't. Is there a way I can set sketchup to this kind of view?

      Hope that makes sense, sorry for the lack of technical terms!

        Not sure how to manipulate a model to fully achieve what you desire (other than drawing it that way from the start), but if you orient your model using perspective and get it close to the view you want. Then after seeing front, side and top switch to parallel projection. Tho, that might be what you already did, since the front face is not completely "flat on" to camera.

          Thanks for reply sfto1, but yes, that is what I've already tried! I have actually found a plugin called Eneroth Axonometric Projection which does what I need, but it only works for line drawings so isn't any good for rendering...

            Seems it's a deformation so if you export the group deformed, the render must works as you want! πŸ˜‰
