Thanks everyone for your responses!

I got a response from sketchUp support which is as follows...
Note: (I tried option 4 just turned off ruby and back on) it saves as usual now. 😎

"*%(#FF4040)[For file save issues it's typically related to the filesystem on the OS.

Make sure you're saving locally (no external drive, no network) Make sure you're saving to a local, non-cloud based file structure as well... no Livedrive, Dropbox and Google Drive... Make sure you're using OS compatible filenames, nothing really long, try to remove non alpha-numeric characters from both filenames and folders Confirm if Extensions are in place that could affect file saves, turn off Ruby if necessary

Hi Arthur, hi folks.

Maybe you can rename each scene with the hour. This wold work for an animation seen using SketchUp.

Or use layers to make visible, in turn for each scene, a screen text showing the time for that particular scene. This would work for escorted animation.

Just ideas.

@JQL: That would seem like a viable solution, however it would cut into the next rooms.
If sketch-up had a camera section clipping function on the other-hand it would be a solution.

@Frederik: Perspective view is shown to demonstrate in 3D our design to contractors and help visually.
We want to show depth, as there is no ambient occlusion lighting...so edges become our only reference.

Perhaps this is a better example. A closet space about 5'6"x 7' you can imagine the space is fairly rectangular. So when trying to show all four facades with adjacent walls we can see the problem of editing the Field of view. Shown in Views E and W, increased Field of view to about 100-110.

I suppose in real life this would be your only options. To increase camera wide angle or in sketchup "field of view"... Which is okay except you see the distorion of adjacent walls is uneven visually creating confusion to the size of the closet space... If I keep to one field of view then I would not be able to see the bottom of the walls for views E and W. 👎

Any ideas?

Sorry for the late upload... :)
