Hi there,
As you can see on the three first pictures, I made a light with a bulb and a glass lampshade. So there is an emissive material for the filaments, but it's not enought to light the space. I would want something soft, and I don't know why I have some strong circles lights with the omnilight. It's not really pleasant...
Do you have an idea to improve this?
Thank you! I have same access issues here... I wish they could do something before the end of the day.
OMG
You saved my life guys! Thank you a lot!!
Hi there,
Ok, I have a big problem with textures of the objects what I download from 3d warehouse, directly in Sketchup.
I download, and the object is on the screen with the texture, OK.
But I work with Vray, and I need the .jpg or .png file for the diffuse map. And if I click on "browse for Material Image file" button in Materials tools, there is no file... I tried to find the image with the name on my windows browser, and nothing. The unique solution that I've found it's to clik on "Edit texture image on external editor" button, and after that, I can find the image file AppData/local/temp.
Do you know this problem, and any solution?

Have you tried the standard computer related troubleshooting things?
- close and relaunch the program
- shut down and restart the computer
- check internet connectivity (should be fine since you posted here)
- consider if you did any updates to the Os that may have an influence? Make sure your anti-virus isn't blocking outgoing calls from the software
Apart from that, I have nothing.
Thank you Juju, but if I post something here, that I tried anything I could do. I tried all you said and more. I made a windows restore to an old version (few days ago), I tried to clear my computer (DNS, cookies, etc), and finally I did all updates for internet exporer, but nothing worked.
I have to specify that the problem is general on internet explorer and not only in sketchup program.

Yes it is broken here as well. If I click in the window I get a model page, but I can't do anything else. The pages are different each time and they are all Czech. Also the language setting is Czech. I was able to click in Login but my info will not go in automatically as it usually does. (don't remember login info)
YES! Exactly the same here!
Hi Everybody 
I have a big problem until this afternoon... I work on sketchup Pro 2016 with windows 8.1. And as you can see on the picture, when I start 3D warehouse, nothing is displayed. I can write something in the search bar, but nothing happens... In fact, these are the results that do not display because if I pass my cursor over, the arrow of my mouse turns into a hand. He spots the link, but I can not download or see it.
How can I do?
Thank you for your help!!!!
@filibis : thank you for you answer.
My settings for the second image are on pictures. And I use v-ray sun for exterior light, and 2 spheres with emissive layer, and an omni light to each. Maybe omni light can play on shadows, you're right, but I have the same problem even if I don't use some omni light... As you can see on the last image.
Hello everyone, 
Last time I had a very good tip thank of you, so I come back with a new question. Two in fact.
First, I have a problem with shadows...
I don't know how to have something between hard and soft. As you can see on the first picture, there is a cornice, but it seems if not. On the wecond picture, there is a fireplace with columns and reliefs, and same problem.. How to make harder shadows there, but without change sun shadows?
Secondly, I think that the light is not balanced. On the third and fourth pictures, sun light on the floor and on the kitchen is almost burned. But the brightness of the image is not very high. Almost dark on the fourth picture.
How to make the right balance?
