Thanks Box, you must be an owl. I awoke to find the printer guy fixed it with a program that "fixes" geometry.

Here you go. https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/sketchup-stl

Oh it is scaled up by a factor of 10

And to you, Sir. Looks like we will see more like the above image.

Unless you saved the file at some point to create an initial SKP file, I don't think the autosaved untitled file gets saved.

@pilou said: In how many time have you paint the Van Gogh that I see on the right? Not sure what you mean pilou, but that was the first image that was on 3D warehouse. If I had the time, Whisteler, Homer or Belows would have been a better choice

Hello, When SU takes longer than I expected,and when I did not save (especially for intersections), I open the autosaved version in a new window. I kept the autosave every 5 minutes in preferences, even if it's annoying while working on 100Mb+ files. This way I can work on my model while the first one is still working. (SU only uses one Core, so it shouldn't slow your PC even if it's working) You'll then get an AutoSave_AutoSave_filename.skp and so on. Just check the last autosave file's time or even open it in a new window like I do to check what you would lose in case you chose to force quit an hanging SU. Sometimes it's faster to lose 5 min work and find a workaround, SU beeing able to hang for hours !

Hi L i am, did any of the responses solve your issue? If not, can you share the model?

Mike, You should put your own custome collections in the User directory and not in the applications. You can access collections from the materials window on the Mac. I'll make some screen shots showing how when I get home and have access to my Mac. d

@hornoxx said: @hellnbak said: It's moody. I like moody. Very nice work ... same for me - a great result - especially with the described effort. My only proposal here: Because the mood reminds me of a wet, misty and cold November day, I would use people cutouts with warmer/thicker clothes, which fit better to this (guessed!) season... Thanks and fair comment HornOxx. Truth is they were the closest people I had. I will try to get some more, more appropriate people and try again.

Left that bit out of my text Cotty. I did right click and chose spherical.............ok i did it again and it works now.......wierd. Thank you.

[image: nVNk_Ztest1.jpg][image: faeB_Ztest2.jpg]Hi Numberosis, I think I know the issue. I found I offset the image by 1mm does work, of course, but the graffiti image did not show up in SU therefore I assumed it would not show up in the render if it did not show up in SU. I have attached images showing firstly the view in SU and the result of that same view in the render.

Simple is good Dave:)

Your a champ Pixero, thank you.

It'd be clearer if you posted a SKP so we could check it out. The line is best draw along the red axis and the group you are bending behind it and the arc behind that. Also the line/arc should be of sufficient length to give the bend needed. As @Box says you can also flip the bend using the toggle key presses when it's previewed.

Thanks filibis, Tig, downloaded it and it works and thank you also Fredo!

@l i am said: Rich, how did you predict where the triangulation's were needed? You are simply trying to neutralize ngons by making them quads or triangles. You need to do this as efficiently as you can. Box's example went the SUbD route which prioritizes quads. Artisan deals with either. Ngons cannot subdivide with regularity but tris/quads can. So you approach needs to factor this in.

Go to View and untick Hidden Geometry.
