Hi Dean
yes I know, that's not really what you are looking for and I probably embarrass myself
suggesting the following. If you have placed your windows on the walls, perhaps you can use
SkUp´s component's propertys in order to achieve your desired result - at least until there is
the technical solution you are looking for.
By the way, I like the look and feel of your nightly church windows - somehow Christmas like.
"...Getting Computers the Hell..." - I know that 
sorry - no more ideas
... is this box still checked in the scenes window?
Of course, I do not know the reason for the misbehavior. But sometimes I have such a "Monday" model as well. With such models, nothing seems to work...
is it possible to post the model here for testing? (SkUp2013)
copy paste this particular model into a new blank SkUp file and and fix your desired views there. Does this work?
hmm
not sure if I'm doing that right, but I always use the top option "Save as a new style".
If I have a shadow from the left in scene 1, in scene 2, I have a shadow from the right. - Then I always think this probably is meant with "new style". - In any case, it works. Also different layer visibilities are considered then. Did you try that?
Anyway, this option does not affect the "real" styles of SU´s syles window...
Maybe only the wording of your shown option window is somehow clumsy? From my viewpoint, all these selectable positions are expressed somehow obscure - at least for me.
WOW !!
In addition to the "morning practices" the "evening practices" are always welcome.
pure wood - I even imagine to smell it - and again excellent presented!!
it is worth the effort chamfering(?) the material to get these clear joints.
(Did You erase parts of ther rendered image layer to get this?)
"Morning Practice"
I am always happy when I read that -
then there are mostly nice wooden things to see
keep going

Yes - this is absolutely and pure SketchUp clean!
very good
It is this clear style, I liked so much many years ago, that I became aware of SketchUp.
Hi Everyone
Sometimes a small geometry exercise develops a life of it´s own. I suppose you all know that?
I wanted to model that simple geometry of a glass, which almost everyone has in his glass cabinet
as I guess - below octagonal and round above. That alone took me at least ten attempts.
After it was finally done, I somehow had to make an immediate test rendering of course! And because
an empty glass is boring, I considered, with which I can fill in this empty glass, and so on ...
Thus, my guessed small exercise developed up to a mammoth undertaking 
But after the results seem, however reasonable, I decided to show them here.
Especially on two of them I would like to point with a few "making of" infos.
The "Latte Macchiato" version was the easiest thing. Because I was too lazy to model the
milk foam, I put a 2D image into the glass. The rendering became fantastic "out of the box",
at least for my desired view of course.
The "M & M's" version was a bit more difficult. Again I was too lazy to put every single
M & M into the glass. So I decided to use SketchyPhysics. The 252 pieces of chocolate brought
my computer almost to a crash but after a few attempts and a lot of patience, it finally worked.
For getting the pieces of chocolate into the glass properly, I had to remodel the inner shape of the
glass with SkPhy solids. In there I let fall the M & Ms.
if anyone is interested or may need it

Wow Kris,
both, the extend and the completeness are impressive - I can not thank you enough!
if this designer chocolates is not available at the moment, I would even take the other kind you have shown obove - my delivery address follows by email
it is incredible - somehow justifiably no one questions that there is done an effort with chocolate, which is comparable to a goldsmith´s work with jewelry
I like that work!
... still wanna have! but I forgot to say that your presentation is simply superb!!!
I've googled a bit

Great!
had not yet realized that 3D printing also works with ceramic material
and your "fancy e-cigs" close ups I have first mistaken for dentist drills
What does "traditionally slip cast" mean?
hi
that's exactly the same way which I'm running my render jobs.
Even my render pc is quite similar.
The problem is not SkUp on the render pc, but the performance of the Internet connection via VNC in my case.
Every click in Skup causes a new image transfer via the internet...
Everything appears with delay which can be quite annoying. So I'm trying to fix everything on my workstation for being able to start only the render tasks later.
Something else. Not all Skup shortcuts are working via VNC.
And a rebooting of the rendering engine (crtl-alt-del) also doesn't work via VNC, if needed...
Hi All
nothing really new, but I thought this little scenes exercise fits well into this season.
Only a background image, one bump map, one standard texture and one 2D cut out component were
needed to do this simple scene ...
