The reason the Warehouse no longer supports versions older than 2017 has to do with discontinued support for the older Internet Browsers supplied by the operating systems and issues with security.

Hi Dave R I have attached one of the affected models but stripped out all the interior furniture etc as this project hasn't reached the pubic domain yet. I found the offending colour (material23) and for the life of me I don't know where this came from, I removed it from the in model colours on the original and the default colours reverted back to normal, I have left the default faces as they were in the attached copy. I tried dragging a colour from the in model colours onto the back face default colour in an unopened group and this changed them to that colour - so I think this is what I had done accidently before. Regards & Thanks for your comments. Tertiary scene stripped interior.skp

Johnbarb, You won't need to trace the lines over an image if your .pdf is a vector .pdf. The process I use to transform vector .pdf into .skp is by using inkscape (an excellent opensource vector graphics software). 1 - Import the pdf into inkscape 2 - Export it as dxf 3 - Import into sketchup (there are some dxf in/out plugins but I never tried them because I have pro version) 4 - Scale dxf with the measurement tool 5 - For texts there is a dxf text import plugin by Tig that is very handy. For those plugins search Sketchucation Plugin Store, For exporting to .svg you can use the svg plugin rich pointed or, if you have sketchup pro or a pdf printer installed in your system, you can print/export a .pdf from sketchup or layout and import it to inkscape again. You'll get a file that you can then save in .svg wich is the native inkscape format. Hope this sheds some more light into that matter. Best regards, JQL

Massimo I discovered what I was doing wrong, I had exported the mask as a 2D jpeg from SU. I rendered this in Shaderlight & the fit is perfect, the only problem is it has masked a couple of surfaces not selected - the mobile whiteboard surface & a jpeg image on the whiteboard on the wall??

Actually, you do have the eye dropper. Select the Paint Bucket tool and hold Command while clicking on the face.

Fantastic Thanks Charevir I can see I am going to learn heaps & save lots of time by using this forum.
