What thread, I think you forgot to link.

No, they are softened, that is why I posted the pic with the wireframe + textures.

Yes, I am using geometry for my design work...and I probably shouldn't. However, does anyone know how to fix this, since this happens a lot to me even if I do not use geometry for my 'texturing' of surfaces. I do a lot of intersection of curved surfaces (then cutting and deleting), and this problem always comes up. So this isn't really a texturing issue as this happens all the time when I am building my mesh.

Hello Gurus,

I need some serious help. I have been using sketchup for several years now, and this one recurring problem keeps coming up. I don't know if its just a problem with my workflow, or something that SU is doing and borking out on, but I would love some feedback on how to prevent this from happening.

Whenever I am doing more detailed work on areas, I always get this shadowy effect where faces are broken up into several distinct shades of crap. I have posted the pictures to show what I mean.

I am at the end of my rope to be honest...

Yea it does, and thats weird because all it gives me is the ABCs instead of the symbols. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: nevermind, it places the symbols but doesnt show it beforehand in the textbox popup. Thanks guys...yes I am retarded.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Is there a way for the 3D Text tool to work on non-standard fonts like webdings, or other graphical font packages?

Thanks!

Hello,

Is there a way to scale a component/group to a certain size regarding a particular face? For instance, I have a group that has a circle face on it, and I need to match exactly (down to the pixel) that face to another circle face in the model. How best to accomplish this?

Thanks!

I will look into that Earthmover, thanks for the tip.

brookefox, what do you mean by "draw the new segment from an internal break point" ?

Yea, I had that work around going on straight lines, but I am needing a way to do curved lines after a "follow me" action. It is really slowing me down. The workaround is selecting bounding edges then deselecting what is not needed for the "route"...but sometimes that is not possible.

Is there anyway to "un-divide" an edge? I get this problem when using the follow me tool a lot. Afterwards, the edge it creates is broken up into itty bitty bits. Anyway to glue them back together?
