It still crashes and I get a message "insufficient OpenGL functionality" (see attached).

Can you recommend a different program?

Pilou,

I realized that the easiest thing to do is alter the Shadow Settings/Light and/or Dark. I don't really need the fancy rendering, just to be able to see inside of the boxes.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for replying.

I tried Twilight, Maxwell, Lightup, Podium, and Thea. The rendering seems to take a long time and my computer crashes.

Windows XP 32-bit
CPU: E2200 @ 2,20GHz
RAM: 2GB

Should I just settle for the default sunlight?

Is there an easy way to shine light, for example, into an open box? So the colors inside the box don't change from the shadow. I've tried TheaRender, LightUp, etc. They seem very very complicated.

If you mean an Image, find my ImageTrimmer tool - please read the instructions carefully and ensure .jar files are set to execute in Java, not decompression app...

Where are the instructions?

Thank you for your reply.
How would one "trim" around the Eiffel Tower?

How does one "trim" a 2D picture imported into SU?

Thank you for the tip!

Thanks Cotty for your swift reply.

Doesn't seem to work. Pressed "Ctrl" and right arrow key simultaneously to copy the object of the same plane, but "Redo" on the Edit menu doesn't appear in black.

Can one distribute objects equally in SU like one can in CorelDraw?

Can one use the orbit tool with precision? For example, orbit along the x-axis. Look at a front view of the object and orbit underneath it and keep the same axis. I realize that could rotate the object, but I want to keep it in the same position with the other objects in the file.

Thank you in advance for your gracious help.
