RE: Post diagnosis.
Sorry, I do not think the graphics are the issue.
Something about megascans when I restarted Sketchup after making the changes in BIOS.
I am seeing a thirty second or more delay when selecting, painting a surface or importing an object which is something I have been seeing anyway. SKetchcup can take a minute or more to load to the welcom screen and then open a model even one saved to the OS drive.
Having said that, I sometimes get a onedrive saving error "Cannot save, this file is already in use by another user", this turns out to be a one drive folder in my microsnot account. These two renders were consecutive and I have no clue. The bonus is that in true architect fashion, the second render does bring the garden "Indoors"......

RE: Post diagnosis.
OK, finally got the onboard graphics online, adopted the classic engine in Sketchup and rebooted. Produced an immediate error in windows which I hope is a transient.
I think there is an improvement in this image, same view and same render time but 'feels' better. Opinions?

As far as I can recall, under the view drop down menu.

RE: Post diagnosis.
I spotted the alpha chanel stuff earlier when attemping to use that =texture for the log fire in the cold view scene. Weird.
Transparency png are flaky tbh and I am looking to 'try' with 3d flames, I shall need a lot of paracetamol for that though.
No idea if Twilight has any fanciness in this respect, Fletch and Chris are now gone so, relying on my daffy memory which is seive quality.
I have notice that having a backgrounbd which has some commonality to the transparency helps. The red/scarlet works best here.
I have attempted to recreate a scene with cutaway and limiting nayural light to that provided by the geometry, windows etc. Many splats with no report just the windows desktop.
I shall leave this here, needs a lot of adjustemnt lighting levels wise but gives a reasonable render potential.
The semi opaque walls, not so sure about.

RE: MeshPad - Sketch to 3D
Anything which actually helps while keeping the organic squidgy component active must be a plus.

RE: Stay safe Box
Having seen where you live in the pictures you posted, I can see the anchor. Anywhere else is just a place holder.
Best to you all down there, hope you all stay safe.

RE: New World
Do you mind if I download that first image and use it in architectural renders?
Not for a while the washing machine has flooded the kitchen, loively.

RE: Unable to select group.
Sketchup being optimised for open gl does not exactly help.
-
RE: Unable to select group.
I cannot use the 'classic' engine in sketchup because Sketchup cannot 'see' the onboard graphic system.
Not changing a thing, sometimes win doze updates scramble things but what good is it unless that happens?
Exporting chunks is something I have done on occasion but not as big a help as it might be.

RE: Ford Model 'A' Hotrod.
Ta folks, there is quite a lot of flaky geometry and cleanup tools cannot sort that. Gradually cleaning this up bit by bit.

RE: Post diagnosis.
I have already ticked 'use gpu rendering' a while ago when the system was changed.

Ford Model 'A' Hotrod.
This is an import and converted from FBX which is not without its challenges.
However, good distraction and the basic model is a good one, No idea where it came from.
Render is Twilight Pro V2.

RE: Unable to select group.
OK, Short cuts on the desktop have resized themselves to "Let the crew of the ISS read this". Weirdo than weirdo.

RE: Unable to select group.
Thanks for the cool tip. I could not do anything with it for a while and had several shut downs, explode worked in the end and I can replace the original groups now.
Apparently using the classic engine is preffered, any tips on allowing the onboard graphics to be seen? -
Unable to select group.
There are some non selectable groups in a converted .fbx file I have imported.
These items are not locked so my best guess is that they are not on layer 0. OK, I know they call them tags now but what the heck, cannot be bothered with all that today.
I have looked for a plugin or method to move everything to layer 0 so either I am extra crispy today or there is no such beast.
Any pointers or, do I start looking for homes with soft wallpaper.
