Hi to all, I do had the same problem.
I tried almost everything and fail.
Then i solve the problem, in my case i have window 10, and i download a small software to take ownership full access of the 2 folders: program file - sketchup folder and %appdata% sketchup folder too.
Then i open Sketchup as administrator, positioned all my toolbars, save as default template and closed.
And Voila finally all is ok.
here is the video i followed with the link to download.

Hope it will work for you!

Hello to all,

What can I say about this software... wow wowo wooowwwwoooo !!!!
Really incredible so far after few hours of use.
For sketchup, of course will wait for the future update as Bump map, IES light, proxy etc...
But really i am impress.
Sketchup model, render in 8 second almost, no PP, direct from the oven.
Solo's plant pack works very well !

My Spec:
MSI laptop GT72 2QD DOMINATOR- nVidia Geforce GTX970M- 16gb ram - i7 4720HQ

I like this picture a lot. My criticism would be the curtains. I my opinion they look to flat. curtains like this are more draped and I would leave them in differnt heights, like the picture below:

Thanks Joke, in fact it's a large curtain that I have imagined...

Here is another render, I changed the chairs mat, rendered TR1 overnight 10 hours 40 passes at 3000 and resized at 1400, small pp.

@unknownuser said:

It's brown, alright.
Great work as usual! I'm jealous of the wine glasses in the foreground. I'm still working that one out in my practice render.

Thanks, wine is French !!! As I travel a lot, I have to say that I love American wine too...

Hi all,
Modern mood in this new project.
The same process, Sketchup to Thea then 3ds furniture merged.
This time 30 minutes to setup and overnight render 150 passes.
Small PP in the darkroom and ACDsee Pro for the frame, the signature, and a very small temperature amount.
Comments are welcome as always.
