Make sure you don't have faces overlapping each other. Kind of looks like z-fighting.
Also, make sure your mesh normals are correct, that it's the front-side of the face that's pointing outwards.

thanks thom. i know it may sound silly but i don't know where can i check the normals?

hi everyone,
i just exported a model from archicad as a 3ds file and imported it into sketchup. when i try to render it, the glass material is rendered in a strange way. i don't know what i've done wrong, but when i check the material editor and preview the material, it's alright. here is post a test rendering so that you'll be able to see what i mean by "strange".
i don't think it's because of archicad export translator. because i rendered another model which was exported the same way and it's rendered as it i expected it to.

thanks in advance for your help

thank you TIG. that was a big help .

EEbyEdges is not the right tool to make that form.
Try its cousin - EEbyRails - and make each side one of four meshes, as this example

hi
thank you for the great great plugin. i was trying to make a tent structure with it but i couldn't do it.
here i attached the sketchup file. i'd be really glad if you could check it out and tell me if it's possible to make a tent out of it or ....not.
thanks

And I'm also working on a variant of my own that will be in the next Edge Tools.

thank you for your reply thomthom.

i'm sure many of us have came across this situation, when we have a bunch of lines that we suppose are connected to each other. but in fact they are not. i thought it would be great if we have plugin to detect the breakpoints to fix.
i wonder has anybody written one before?

yesss. you're right. all of them are there.
thank you very much

hey guys,
i have SU7.1.6 pro+vray 1.05 installed and everything works fine except the "vray material editor". when i right-click on the object to assign a vray material there is nothing to select.
does anyone know what's the problem?

peace,
