How come Layer0 always appears? If when I deselect it and update Scene 2, go to Scene 1, and return to Scene 2 ... Layer0 is still there?

RE: Clean JPG
Dave, thanks for replying.
I realized the problem isn't making a jpg from a skp. The jpg export is perfect. I'm having the "dirty" image after importing the jpg into a CorelDraw file and then exporting it as a pdf.

Clean JPG
How does one export a clean JPG?
When I export a model as a jpg, the area around the edges of the image is a little gray (or some other very light color), even though there is no background in the model.

They should. Don't get in the practice of holding the cursor keys.
Are you clicking and releasing the mouse button? Or are you holding it, too? Don't hold the mouse button. Click and release.

Yes, I was holding the mouse button and the cursor key. Have to change that habit when trying to constrain.

RE: Purge unused materials
Thank you, massimo. I couldn't purge the extra materials from Materials/details/Purge unused. Your method worked.

RE: Export to PDF
Or "optimize" with Acrobat Pro or "compress" with Free PDF Compressor.

RE: Export to PDF
Use Layout and Export as PDF. Then, import into Inscape, save as PDF. Then, it can be imported into Corel Draw.

Texture - Bigger and Smaller?
How come, when one stretches an object, the size of the texture also stretches? Officially, the width and height of the texture remain the same (Materials/Edit/Texture), yet the texture gets bigger or smaller.

You shouldn't be holding. Press and release to lock the axis direction.
It works fine when I hold the right arrow button along the red axis line. But, however I try either to hold or press and release, the other axes don't constrain.

3D Warehouse
Please improve the search engine in 3D Warehouse.
I can't understand how it works. For example, I want to search for models of "doors" and the results are models of ... kitchens, awnings, tiles, sinks, etc.

Holding.

Edges are ... dotted lines
Why do the edges in one file appear like dotted lines?

Use the arrows keys to constrain movements along an axis.
Up Arrow will constrain movement up and down. Left for Y axis. Right for X axis.
But, it doesn't work for me. The arrows don't constrain the movements. Any advice why?

How do I find out who designed the component in Sketchup? When I right click, I only get Entity Info.

RE: Shadows below ground-level
Dave R and pbacot,
-
Try purging unused stuff from your model and see if that gets the size down enough to upload (Window>Model Info>Statistics>Purge Unused.)

I tried to think of a way that two colors could display shadows--and no shadows--on the ground. I assumed that the hole material in the second picture is not white. You were correct, it was silver.
Try adjusting this number in the shadow dialog.
I used both of your suggestions 1) purge and 2) adjust shadow dialog and ... it works - now there are realistic shadows. The shadows don't work in certain shadow settings on white, but that can be dealt with.
Thank you for your time and patience.

So far you haven't shown us exactly what you are seeing so we can only guess. How about uploading the SKP file so we can see exactly what you've got modeled and help you sort out the problem?
The SKP file seemed to big to upload.
The shadows work okay with 0131_Silver material, but not with 0128_White.
