Big choice for “getting back into SU” . Looking good so far. Look forward to progress reports. 👍

That did the trick, thanks!

My script was a clunky idea, fraught with issues.
I don't recommend it for use 😮

It's difficult to tell from that image but it looks to me as if you have internal faces. Delete or hide those as well and the lines on the surface would really be hidden.

In the front I'm getting what I think you're showing. The one in the back has had the internal faces deleted.

Hmmmm......it could be that your model was too high-poly and google changed it.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments guys.

I've learned an important lesson creating this model. I always thought components were the holy grail for a light model, turns out I was wrong...
The model had way to many faces and edges because of all the components. I replaced most components with 1 single face with a .png texture. The kb's increased a little bit but the amount of faces and edges dropped drastically.

Ward,
I see them in FF OK. (FF 3.5.7 on a Mac)

Thanx Wacov!

Still fooling around:

Did you also project that texture there? (It does indeed look projected.)

Does any of the above suggestions help?

Ward,

I'm glad that hlped. My model of Leominster, Herefordshire, is coming along. I think there are now about30 buildings accepted in GE with at least that many either waiting in the cue on 3DW or taking up space on my hard disk.

Dear EdwardoNL,

It seems a little too attached to the existing building. What if you moved the Belfy to the corner and wrapped the balcony and entrance around the sides.

Regards,
Bob

I don't need a plugin for this - it's actually a piece of cake to model - it would just be fine not to worry about the cutting ability of thick walls.

Got a small update:

Continue working on the model. I've recently read about Le Corbusier and his "five points of architecture"
It appealed to me so I made some changes to the model.
Added stills to support the structure, added curtain wall windows. And of course I like the idea of a large roof garden!
(It kind of reminds me of the Lever House in New York)

Nice one Alpmeadow!
Chicago looks realistic, I'll have to take a look in GE.

Thanks for the comments guys! 👍

Yes, you can close this one. Thanks.

Turned out to be a video card driver issue... I think.
I installed ASUS drivers for my ATI card instead of using shitty ATI Cataclyst drivers.
Problem solved 😕

Great to see you found a fix Ward, now can you please explain to an old man who is definitely not computer savy what is involved in installing a new driver as I have exactly the same problem as you had. I had no problem with SU textures but whenever I tried to use a .jpeg as a texture I got the same message in KT, it was very frustrating and I've been scratching my head for months about what the hell I was doing wrong. Until now I have seen nothing that explained it. Thank you for providing a bit of light on the subject. Now if you could just take me by the hand and lead me through the 'fix it process' I'll be a very happy chappy.
Cheers from the deep south where summer is just around the corner.

We all learn from each other all the time! 👍

Have a look at this temple in Poseidonia / Paestum (nowadays Italy). My columns is definitely more slender but this temple is also (about a century) older:

I can imagine that su2kt does not export images that have no geometry (i.e.inserted as images, not textures). I bet is you "exploded" the images then hid the edges and made components of them, they'd export properly.
