Still some extraneous place holders here, movement though. [image: 1745441762893-4-1000s-2174-x-1983-32s-gpu-resized.png]

@panixia Ah yes, I remember the very first days when I changed to Blender; it was so unpredictable (compared to 3Ds Max) that I felt totally disappointed! Later on, I got accustomed to that as well. Maybe the same experience when one starts using ZBrush! Yes, you are right, let's see what will happen by injecting more of AI to our world!

Ta mate.

Not limiting myself to logitax tbh, more looking for something folk knew worked in this environment. Got this instead from shear 'going nuts looking'. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B5RDR1PH?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Sensitivity is way off but that can be adjusted. Sketchup opens faster now which is weirder than hen's teech on a donkey.

@Rich-O-Brien I sometimes disagreed with his opinions, but indeed he was a great person. He'll be missed for sure.

@Mike-Amos Hope you get things sorted out. I’ve had the same weird scaling issues with probably half my hdr’s and spherical jpeg’s.

Ta folks, there is quite a lot of flaky geometry and cleanup tools cannot sort that. Gradually cleaning this up bit by bit.

Sketchup being optimised for open gl does not exactly help.

L i am posted a reminder about Fotosketcher, an interesting piece of software I completely lost track of. https://fotosketcher.com/ Interesting graphic effects. [image: 1740918690197-11-1000s-2174-x-1083-3m-27s-gpu-affinity_fotosketcher-resized.jpg]

Like everyone here, I have dealt with variable thickness lines and smudges on 'blueprints. I even made a Venetian Gondola which deliberately has completely different hull lines left to right. Interestin to say the least. I get peeved when a straightforward canoe, which has a symmetrical design. is so bastardised is suggested as a 'blueprint'. Just an observation and I will make of it what I can for practice sake. Got to laugh a bit more and use emoti thingy's perhaps.

Ta mate, base over apex when the cut got under my feet.........

Ta mate.

Actually, not the wrong thread at all, I just missed stating which render program.

Ta Bryan, learning.

@Mike-Amos Thanks Mike. I've seen these Singer Porsche's on Jay Leno's Garage. They're beautiful.

OK, Fernando at Next Limit had a look around the PC, say's apart from an hdd where an ssd should be it is sound. Renamed maxwell.rb to maxwell.rb00 and the slow startup was cured. After renaming it maxwell.rb, still no error. He cannot explain it either. Gremlins in the mix or perhaps it has been taken over by aliens, possibly even from Dagenham east?

Very nice results!
