There is a tutorial at Sketchup Artist you might take a look at. Called fast track for Architects.

Architectural Rendering with SketchUp and Kerkythea :: SketchUp 3D Rendering Tutorials by SketchUpArtists

By Nick Howlett So you've made that SketchUp model, and want to turn it into a funky architectural render with minimal effort and without shelling

(www.sketchupartists.org)

Looks like good as well..... thx

@Emerald15: Sounds interesting, but what exactly is CatchUp No. 7?

@Gaieus: Thanks for the Kerkythea-Link, i looks like interesting. I think I will try this way.

At first, thanks very much for your quick and detailed answers.

First point I know now, that Sketchup free Version isn't able to show lights, exept the sun.

I installed the Renderprogram Kerkythea, and tried already placing lights but I get no result, sometimes I have light, sometimes not. And I don't know, why, or where I can change the lumen or anything else (Is it right, that the light effect is only seen after rendering?).
Also i searched alreay in the Internet for a Tutorial, but I don't find anything I understood the context...

I have now a new toolbar (Kerkythea) in Sketchup, with two standard lights and the possibility, some others to import. But I don't know how to use

So I need a short and easy step by step how to manage it.....?

Hi guys,

I am a newby in using sketchup, but I made a model with try and error.

It is a petrol station, and now I need some features, to turn lights on and off, special at the roof and outside general.

I don't know how to do it. Is there anybody, who will explain to me?

Thanks,

Daisy
