Yoni said Sketchup rolled back this update. Over at the Sketchup Forum.

@Mike-Amos Mike, yep. I am curious about Rayscraper. I've seen some really great results. Sometimes I think about getting Thea alongside D5. It's more work for creating a render. There are times when I think D5 is a little cartoonish. It has a lot of positives. Perhaps when I was starting out using D5. I used Twilight on a few projects at first right after using Kerkythea for a while. That was my main first rendering engine. I think there was this other Metropolis Light Transport plugin for Sketchup to experiment with. I neglected learning rendering even though I putzed around a lot with Kerkythea. It was with Thea render when I really started to sink my teeth into rendering.

nice renders. I see the similaity to twinmotion. and D5. the unreal engine look.

^ in spades, a keen eye and great mind leads to better results every time.

@Gus-R said in Delete Used Components: Dave, by used I mean existing components. I do use purge unused by I wanted to get rid of a bunch of cabinet pulls. OK. So you could have used the process I described, right clicking on the component thumbnail and selecting Delete. Would be faster than digging though Outliner, especially if the components are nested in groups or larger components.

LA is known for being VERY slow (even before the fires), nit-picky, and sometimes downright unreasonable. Best of luck in getting the project(s) approved!

I've been enjoying SU2026.

Well done!

@Gus-R Thanks for the explanation, looks great.

I do not have a smart phone, it matches me for stoopid and I use it as a phone only. I am sure there are folk here with a Whyphone who can describe the process. I found this with a brief search. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph864a938de/ios

Very nice work Gus

Bloody good mate.

@L-i-am @Mike-Amos If you all stop engaging then it stops. Please and thank you.

My computer died again. It's either the motherboard or the CPU. I have the previous CPU. Might be the motherboard.

@majid Thanks Majid. Facebook banned me for a couple of hours because I was liking too many posts and too fast. I had to submit yet another video selfie. I've slowed down since.

In any event most of my work is drafting and little involves rendering jobs. I unsubscribed from Upwork Plus and raised my base rate back to what a freelance drafter with my experience should earn in the USA and not unskilled labor wages. That would be $50/hour. Here's a link to my Facebook professional page which is going nowhere even when I pay for an ad to run for a week. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578027453574

@Gus-R said in Beach House: Anyone going to render this? ???

Closest I came to that was putting books etc in my folks shed/locker. Mind you, the ol' mum did phone and ask if I had read the books. "Good". "WHY"? "I gave them all to the charity shop, but at least you have read them". Some of those reference books were in the £200 range when I bought them........

you can convert SketchUp's SKP files to Blender. You can either use the built-in SKP importer in Blender or export the model from SketchUp in a compatible format like Collada (DAE), OBJ, or FBX, then import that into Blender.
