That was exactly the problem! I scaled the CAD file and everything works. Thanks

Hi, I am importing topography lines from CAD to sketchup. The lines show up crooked, they cross each other and even some do not appear. Does anyone know what is causing this? Thanks in advance for the help.

I putt a light in the sky which gives shadow in the building, so that is solved. Now i need to knwo how to soften the shadow thats hitting the floor.

I'm using sketchup 7 with V-ray for sketchup 7. I still can't seem to be able to make the light come through and hit the floor.

I've got this model with opening. In sketchup, the light comes right throught no problems, and no there isn't any glass in the openings. When I render, none of the shadows on the ground appear. I need help fast because I need to hand this in soon.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I was wondering, do you know a good place where I can get 3d people for free?

Thanx for the comments

Leave comments, they'll be appreciated.

I've got this brick materail in Vray, I added a bump (bitmap) and then chose the jpeg image. When I check the update preview I can see the result but its when I render, nothing shows up. Can someone either help me solve this problem or give me a simpler way of getting a nice realistic brick material.

Thanks in advance

I'll be more than happy to receive comments and help from anyone. Looking to improve!!!

I'm rendering with Vray for sketchup and I've got a background with overall cloudy sky. Right now, the background doesn't really look right with the amount of light comming in the building. I need to know how to diffuse the shadow and make the whole look more realistic. SO the light shinning on the floor as to be less direct and more diffuse like on cloudy days
