Made mat 003 an emiter and this ran over 4m 20s.
There are lines here not apparent in the render window, geometry? Yep, when I selected the view Rich set the geometry (Hidden lines etc) was switched on by Sketchup. Old bug.

As I thought, the scene as opened is a blank canvas. All mats are 100% opaque and no emiters.
No, does not reproduce, random over several renders.
Ghost textures, where the same texture is apparent more than once in the materials list. Ghost white is a colour I use exclusively for glass. If as in this instance, the light fitting is imported, the material is listed twice or more and treated as a seperate instance. Only one of which had a glass setting.
2a. I believe this is a bug where imported models have the same material as the main model. The model (Light) itself is probably unrealistic so I will adjust and try again.
Just to point out that this is the old pc which is getting on a bit.
With Sketchup v2022, instant crash, no bugsplat.
I got here from another county eight yearts ago.
Wondered if I would ever be here long enough to amke a recreation but here I am,
Not exactly a large place and when furniture is involve, snug is the politest way of describing it but wth, I am one person so if I don't rattle it's OK.
I am aiming to do an as is and then move on to a wiff with minor alkterations to see if I can do any better with the footprint.
OK, the properties assigned to materials etc in Rayscaper are not surviving shutdown and restart on this pc. Memory? 32gig and a decent graphics card suggests not.
OK, part of the reasons for a simple black screen rather than a render is that for some reason, there were TWO 'ghost white' textures/colours imported. Only one of which had any reference to 'glass'.
Nice to find that.
Even at 200w the cone of light is not apparent from the now 2 x spotlights.
Weird this, one spotlight and one directional light along with the fake emitter surface.
I ramped up the directional light alone to 100.00 watts. OK, distance that this illumination appears at needs adjusting. I then reduce the power levels to zero watts and the illumination does not change. I will close Rayscaper and open it again, see what happens.
Essentially the balance issues make it difficult for me to see where the illumination level is do I will have to render a scene or two with just the lamps I have made and adjust from there.
Well, difficult to say if there is any illumination from the unit, it has a fake emitter and two directional lights which are pointing in the correct direction. Still getting myself oriented with these lights.
Well, had a thunk to add a reading light over the desk, balance. I still do not have it yet but, I am looking.
Peace out.
Lightened in Irfanview. The original was blurry dark.
OK, just another "Is it worth upgrading" question.
Currently still running 2022, enough there to upgrade to 2024?
I know, sometimes when things go pear shaped, I get the urge to laugh my head off.
Last night the screen went off the charts crazy, dialogue boxes opening and closing all over the screen and I thought everything AND the kitchen sink had gone nuts.
Switched it off and went to Bedfordshire.
This AM, tried again and same thing. Thought about it and narrowed it down to an input problem, then plugged a spare keyboard (OK, old keyboard) and nada. so I vacuum cleaned the current keyboad and everything is back to normal.
Cat fur.
Miaoooooooooow.
Well, the beast has been received at the treatment centre so I am running the old machine, similar size etc so no surprises it looks and smells the same.
The internal dimensions are 12'square for the main rooms with a 5 foot bathroom and entry downstairs.
Entourage and some tweaks are all for the model I think then get some attention to the lighting!
For some reason when selecting gpu render, this pc reverts from 2748 x 1048 to 1000 x 1000 pixel size.
I have to say that, you Sir, are a bloody marvel. Thanks for keeping us up to date with what is possible. It makes a massive difference.
I have posted the question on a couple of defence oriented sites and will get back to you when/if I have an answer/candidate.
