cheers been using sketchup for years didnt now that existed

Hi Lee Good shot at an incredibly difficult layout. Why the lack of units to the left of the extractor hood? Space would be limited in an apartment kitchen like this. My advice is purely on the cabinetry modelling as I am useless at rendering. Loads of experts on here to help you though - just ask the questions and they will answer.

I'm guessing you are not using the latest V-Ray for Sketchup and the jpeg texture you try to render is an Image. (It says Image in the Entity Info window when you select it?) Before v1.48.66 of VfSU it did not render Image elements. You have the explode it. We have a V-Ray section here at the forum: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewforum.php?f=322 And please mention what version of VfSU when asking question as the answer often depends on this. Also: screenshots of your SU model and your test renders greatly help when answering. If you have a small test model then you can add that to the post as well.

You can use my V-Ray Toys plugin. That will assist you to setting up matching views so they fit 100% when you merge V-Ray and SU exports. Follow the Plugins links in my signature.
