Hello, would anyone know why I'm getting grey bars across my image when I export it as a 2d graphic image and save it as png file?

I've uploaded an example of what I get.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Would anyone know how I can render an object (like a chair) on a transparent background and also keep the shadows as if there was a ground plane? I have managed to render the chair with a transparent background but can't figure out how to keep the shadows as well!

Many thanks

Hello all,

I'm trying to render a fairly simple bedroom with vray (2.0) to which I haven't yet managed to render yet in hi-res, only on the test setting! today is the furthest I've got (pre pass 3 of 4) then I got this message for the first time "Run time error" (R6025 - pure virtual function call).

I'm at a total loss! Would be very grateful if anyone would be able to help me in trying to resolve these couple of issues.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

Does anyone know whether you can render a moving animation using "keyframes plugin" using vray? I have tried but to no avail!

Thanks

Just un-installed everything and installed as you said by running as administrator and this worked!

Tried to download an extension and still got the error message! but you said this was two issues, one down and one to go! Thanks for your help with this Tig.

Hi Tig, the Extensions Loading Policy is set to Unrestricted but I can't find the ruby console option. Went to the windows menu in sketchup but nothing there!

I have tried to un-install and reinstall but that didn't work!

Thanks

Not sure if this has anything to do with as well but can't load any plugins. Tried to enable some extensions via the preference's but can't seem to activate any, also can't load vray!

Hi Tig,

Tried the first suggestion but to no avail. I have attached a screen shot of what I renamed the file incase I got it wrong!

The second option, how do I go about this? sorry, my knowledge on computers is very basic!

Thanks again

Hi Tig,

Thanks for the information. I have checked and they are all there! I've attached a screen shot. Would you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Juju, Is there a solution? Thanks

Hi All,

I keep getting an error message when trying to download extensions from the warehouse! Really frustrating and I think I've exhausted all the options to try to rectify this.

Also not sure if this is related or not but also get error messages when starting up Sketchup!

I've attached snap shots of both error messages. If anyone can help I will be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

Would any body know why all my skp files are not able to be viewed as thumbnails?
I have the correct setting on the task bar "Thumbnails" but this doesn't seem to work!
This all happened when I downloaded the new version of sketchup8!

Does anyone know of a setting I have to set so I'm able to see these skp files as thumbnails?

Hope all that makes sense!

Thanks in advance

Double click your grouped geometry to edit it

select each curve one at a time and right click and select entity info

under segments you'll see 100 ,change that to 20 for example. Repeat fir each curve

Many thanks.

Extrude Edges by Rails. Reduce the segments of the curves - the file is gonna be huge!

Hi, Would anybody be able to give me any pointers on how to draw a canopy?
I have attached an skp file of the canopy top I'm trying to draw, I can draw the out line ok but I can't seem to be able to create a flowing material face (if that makes sense!). I've tryed using the contours tool but this creates un-even surfaces.

It also needs to be hollow!!!!

Hope all that makes sense!!!

Thanks
