%(#4080FF)[Hi Guys,

I need to stretch whole to match the bowl. I use Fredo Scale. I did it before and it worked, now only length of worktop changes, not the lenght of whole, do anyone know why ?

Make sure that your geometry does not include Sketchup curves around the plane for stretching. FredoScale does not stretch these curves.

Turn off Default Lights in the Globals.

It worked, I don;t have shadows from sun.
But I have too much light in the drawing and I don't know where it comes from.

I have only two spotlights in hood but drawings is so lightened, I don't understand why

See Outline. I didn't add any other lights

I use this plugin everyday.

Have you tried putting it on its own layer, then shutting off that layer?

The antialias filter value needs to be 1.2, 1.5 or 1.8 for smooth results. Also set up the settings in DMC Sampler, such as Noise Thresh to 0.01 or 0.005, Max subdivs to 15.

I never understood why these "advanced" cameras have these stupid huge frustums and contruction lines. And there is no way to disable them so that the camera is created without them (or at least i don't know how to do it). If you delete them, they are coming back. Who "invented" this sh*t?!? It must have been someone who never worked in Sketchup. I mean... how long do we have to deal now with these OGL clipping problems? Yes, since the beginning - more than 10 years! And the ACT was added in 2007-2008?
And another annoying point of the ACT... i don't know how many times i have lost a view because i accidently clicked in the unlocked viewport. WHY can't this camera just work like the standard camera and get only updated when you click "update"?!?
I only need the ACT to control the tilt of the camera - if there would be a simple plugin where you can set this value or simply set it to 0° i would never use them again...

I think I found the reason :
I made Component out of Rectangle light so to be able to copy it. When component light is copied it is possible to change settings of all copied components in the same time, not each light separately. I thought changing the light into component might be the reason of grainy light. I checked it: made new rectangular light and then changed it into Component. Before the change it worked perfectly smooth, after it become grainy.

What scares me is that when I have 50 lights in sloping ceiling and I want to change the power of them I have to change setting of each light separately.

After 1 hour of further working on the project I found that strange: I made rectangular light under cupboard, created Component out of it and duplicated it. The light was not grainy ( the picture below ). I don't understand.

Light under worktop is made by 600x30mm Rectangular light and changed int o Component, copied along the line. The light is nice and smooth.

Also make sure that if your glass has thickness, that the glass material is applied to both front and back faces.

Often you'll have less time invested making your own than fixing up a poorly or inefficiently made components drawn by others.

true story 😄

Set the view like you want then create the comp.

Or explode, purge unused, set the view like you want then create the comp.

You could add the folder back and then remove it from favorites, and delete the folder again.

Click on the Upload attachment tab below the text window. It should be self-explanatory from there.

So, my first solution is the same as Andybot's... 😳

%(#4080FF)[mine is the same aws well 😉 thanx]

Do you have length snapping enabled in Model Info/Units? If so, that would result in the jumpy movements. Turn it off and things should smooth out.
You'll probably want to modify your starting template to get rid of length snapping, too.

[highlight=#ff40ff:1pk159iu]I don' have that problem anymore, it disappeared somehow [/highlight:1pk159iu]
