Hi Brodie, I don't have multiple displays but on another forum I saw this solution, I hope it helps (credits to "Gully Foyle") @unknownuser said: The way I get them back is by following this procedure. Do it for each missing browser, one at a time. First, you want to give the browser focus, so you should select that browser from the Window menu, even if it already has a plus next to it (if it does, click it twice so it ends up with a plus and is the last thing selected. It should then have focus, even though you can't see it. Then, you want to open its system menu using the keystroke Alt-Spacebar, then put it in Move mode by hitting M. At that point you should be able to scoot it around with the arrow keys. What you can do is to hit any arrow key once and then move your mouse back and forth, up and down, without pressing any mouse buttons. If all goes well, you should see the missing browser moving around with the mouse. Once the thing is back on-screen, click the left mouse button or hit Enter, and you should have it back. Then proceed to the next missing window, and so on. Gully Foyle

Also you can find the "culprit" endpoint by using the text label tool on the corners. Whichever doesn't say 0 for the blue axis (for example - in case of a horizontal rectangle) will be the one that prevents you from creating a face. You may need to adjust precision to some higher value in the Model info box. To fix this, make sure nothing is selected, hover over the wrong point with the move tool, click on it when the inference appears, hit the up/down arrow on your keyboard and move it to 0 z value (by inferencing with any of the correct corner points). Also note that SU has some kind of "tolerance" so you may even create a face with non coplanar edges (see example file - the face is created though the corner point farmost from the origin is 0.01 cm higher than the others - start push-pulling it up and see that the vertical edges lose their z-axis marking blue colour at about 3300 cm high). So you never know... Non-planar.skp

The best HD TV only does 1920x1080. I watch all my animations in a movie theatre, that's just how I roll. Seriously though, I've found that outputing them at a large resolution and then scaling them down seems to help with the moire affect and crispness. The former can be a big problem with a 6 story brick building. -Brodie

XP? If so r-click desktop/Properties/Setting/Advanced/Troubleshooting. Set hardware acceleration to none. Try SU. If you can get in, reassess OpenGL settings. Was fast feedback checked? If so, that could have been the real problem once hardware acceleration was checked. If you are on Vista, the OS does not support OpenGL. The driver is everything.

That's sort of what I figured unfortunately. Any other ideas on how to do what I'm trying to?

@pixero said: I use Vray for SketchUp at work and I get all the "old" PCs to put them in a renderfarm. Actually they are not that old and this way I can speed up rendering a LOT even on single images. Works great. But you have to do some work in Vray before running the animation right? I suspect if you don't mess w/ the materials and lighting and such it would look odd. I basically want the exact same sort of output that sketchup would give me. -Brodie

@anssi said: ...When exporting larger than screen images, turn off Antialiasing from the Image export options, or SU will freeze or crash. Anssi The "biggest" export I have ever needed was 3500 x 3500 pixels and I did it with AA on (single 2.7 GHz CPU, 512 Mb memory and a 256 Mb ATI Radeon card - not a power machine at all...) True it was without shadows (then it froze big time).
