**Hi there guys,

I'm relatively new to sketchup, been working with it for around 3 months now and finally beginning to get to grips with a small amount of the vast amount of things you can accomplish with it.

I have one query; i'm trying to do some elevations using the section cuts but don't want the standard rectangle shape. I want to change the shape of the section cut if it is possible?

I'm using V-Ray as a rendering platform and I know that you can use the Mesh Clipper in that to create different shaped cuts but I want to use the graphics from sketchup for a presentation for a client.

I've attached an image to show what I mean and what my desired section cut shape would be.
It's not the greatest as it was just a quick pen drawing but hopefully I can get some answers!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Joe**

Hi there guys,

I keep getting these weird shadows/shapes when I used the mesh clipper sometimes. Does anyone know why this is? I've been playing around with the settings but nothing seems to help.

I've attached an image of what I mean.

Any pointers appreciated!!

Thanks,
Joe

Hi there guys,

I'm relatively new to V-Ray and love the things you can do with it so quickly, ideal for deadlines and the like. I'm designing a kitchen extension for a beach house and have got the scene looking as I wanted apart from one minor aspect. There's no beach when you look out of the window!!!

I've added a HDRI Sky image that I downloaded which is perfect apart from the fact you can see the trees in the over the beach-side wall. Anybody got any advice on how to get a realistic sea-horizon shot with a sky in as well? I've attached the image of the shot so you guys can see what i'm talking about.

Hopefully you guys can help asap!

Thanks in advance!
