      here's the model if anyones looking for a corner wc. i've tried to keep the file size as small as possible but the bowl required more faces for a smoother finish than hoped http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=1a4830423b35585393b31e46e42bc546

      Apologies the for the delay in the response. Think you may be right Dave. There were a few splines within the drawing that contained varying amount of segments. It appears that those that had many short segments were the ones that did not show within the styles. On running the 'weld' script on the splines to make them one polyline in SU, they appear in the style, thanks Dave!

      @roger said: I am not sure how useful this post is, but I do think changing shadow color in a ruby should be dead easy for someone with even modest programming talent. After all for the shadow to have a color, that color has to be assigned somewhere in the code so isolating that piece of code and writing a dialog box to insert a new color definition is all that is required. Now I have probably revealed how much and how little I know about programming. I think the SketchUp programmers could alter the SketchUp C-code to create shaodows in a different color. The shadows are produced using a "trick" in OpenGL (a set of software n Windows and on the vidoe boards to produce 3D renderings of a model). OpenGL does not support sun (and shaadows) directly, but people have found a way to identify where the sun is not shining - basically by adding additional geometry to the model to extrude a "shadow volume" from each face to represent the places where that face would cast a shadow. Then the scene is re-rendered with the shadow volumes and the two results a merged to create the shadow effect. However, we Ruby programmers, can only do what the SketchUp programmers have opened up to us. For instance we cannot access and alter the dimension entity. We also cannot intercept and modify the code which processes the OpenGL interface. So, as far as I know, there is no easy way for us to alter the color of the shadows.

      @grdnblak said: I can't seem to figure out how to make your own lights for use within Kerkythea (not the spotlights or point lights that are readily available) i.e. like a neon or strip light. every time i think i have it sussed it appears as a spot or point light in kerky, any ideas how to do this? Hi Gordon! If you haven't done it already, I suggest that you download the Getting Started tutorial, which should help you achieve what you want to... I also encourage you to visit the KT Forum, where you can find many useful tips and tricks... I.e. take a look at the neon lamps for a industry hall thread or the neon lights thread... In KT2008 Echo, which will be released on Wednesday, January 30th, you have the option to use IES lights... To get an idea about what IES is, you can Google it or take a look here... Hope this can help you further..!?
