ATM, there are two windows both on the west (Right) of this render. You may see on. Seeing as I do not 'do' window ledges, the window openings are not readily apparent. There is a logic to this. I frankly got fed up to my molars with females mostly, putting ornaments or flowers on ANY flat surface. I like to be able to open windows without relocating tat every time. I know, fully paid up member of the annoyed ol' git fraternity/club. I am looking at a method to introduce my favourite natural light system here, the sun/solar tube. I shall have to see how effective it will be.

Apparently more accurate than folk might think..

OK, local emergencies aside, some time to look into moving this forwards and hoo nose, finish it maybe. I will have to change up the dragon and some geometry is proving to challenge rolled marbles. [image: 1765331140522-4-1000s-1909-x-984-777578tri-17s-gpu.png]

OK, had an issue with what seemed to be lost textures but, was a return to back face issues. Something I have not seen for a while now. Probably a Rayscaper issue but not the end of the world, I usually check these things as a rule. This one bloody unit was an import and I missed the use of back face in one cabinet door. Anyway, the downstairs is cramped but not really that tight when seating is deflated/stored and the folding dining table/chairs can be brought out for a meal with friends. A drop down cinema type screen for film night with snacks easily catered for. Hot water is as designed via a Quooker type system to save space and improve economy. Heating via passive home and possibly a ground pump but passive should not need that really. Shower is electric and solar panels on the roof to power it. A pull out drawer under the stairs for batteries. No boiler, gas or electric will save space and energy uptake. I am considering uploading the bare bones as a challenge but, more on that later.

Thanks Dave, I tried searching on the Sketchup support site but apparently I do not have a right to see the results.

Sorry, wanting to see how closely, or not, the photoreal mat setting in Sketchup can approximate to a render. Not too badly for folk who do not want the added complexity of a render program. Approximating a studio might prove useful. Curiosity alone.

There are a number of extensions that wind up exploding curves. Round Corner and Fredo Corner do. Also the various Boolean tools explode curves. Follow Me does, as well. As a matter of habit I run Auto Weld frequently. I also find Auto Weld important for restoring circles and arcs.

The spooks are gone... ? What the Freaky Friday etc. Better call Scummy and Mouldy.

@Mike-Amos Keep after it. You’re making good progress.

Thank you..

Fair enuff, please remind me how, I am xtra thick this week.

This is something like the end result I am looking for. [image: 1756254625797-10-1000s-2067-x-1192-5618917-tri-25s-gpu-resized.png]

OK, unistall and go again fresh. Worked at last, signed in 'n all.

Unless I can pull a Rabbit out of a hat, that is the last Twilight render.

In order to get this topic back on track, I have created a new thread to discuss the materials issue(s). Here is a link to that thread https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/164671/create-new-or-adjust-materials

Hey Mike, great to see you picking up Rayscaper again! Beautiful car, and great render!

Thanks mate.
