Hi Dave,
I dont see any difference, but I think I see the problem. The crome fill is vanished when I import a texture over it. Logical I guess.
What I want is a wheel with a crome color and above that a extra texture with a red cross. How can I fill a texture above a other colored face?
Hi there, I've made a spinning cycle with a red cross in the wheel. This wheel has a chome color, and I added a transparant Photoshop document with only the red cross visible over it. In Sketchup you can see this red cross over the crome wheel, but when I render it in Podium the wheel turned into black, with no chrome color or red cross.
How can I make a crome wheel with a opaque red cross on it??
Yes, thanks! I still got to learn much more 
Thanks everybody!!
Thanks! That worked!! But, there is still only one problem (see new attachment). I made a 15cm thick wall of it and on top I also want to fill this. Why can't sketchup make this easier?
Please help. I need to create a half round wall with a different height from beginning to the end. I have the object but I can't fill it! Please help!
I've painted both sides with that texture but the results are still white, not colored
Is there a way I can render a texture from a image as stained glass? I;ve tried without succes. When I make a window and I attach simply a color, Podium renders the color good. But when I use a image as texture and give it transparency, it renders white. No colors. What did I do wrong?
Hi, I'm trying to learn Sketchup 2014 and Vray 2.0 with the DEMO versions. Because I want to change my career in the future I want to learn those packages. Besides, I'm addicted to Sketchup.
For better rendering test the DEMO version is to small. I want to have more control over lights and a little more bigger results. But then I have to buy the full "commercial" license. That is much to much for me I can afford. Is there now other way that I can buy a student license? Besides, it is for study purpose only. Does anyone have a suggestion?
I've got Sketchup 2014 with Podium V2plus running. But because I am curious about Vray I do want to install the Vray demo, but I'm not sure both plugins will bite each other. Does anyone know if this is possible?
