oh wow! i dint know selecting some thing would effect the preference menu! thanks a lot!

Graphics drivers and OpenGL settings are commonly the cause of shadow problems. Since this isn't a bug, i'm going to move this into the SketchUp Discussions. Perhaps someone else will find it useful.

i had either followed a link from here or from sketchup artist. it has been quite a while. this is sort of a try to find it. i disticly remmeber the green trees and sketchup boxes.

@hectormc said: Hi i just bought profile builder but have not yet learned to do diddly squat with it. how do you use these profiles to make lines? @ccaponigro said: So here are the .skp files. This only works with Profile Builder 2 Assembly tool. I made dashed, hidden, center, phantom and even batt insulation. They only use a couple components and just repeat them so I'm guess not much in terms of computer load. The center and phantom have to be a specific length or they will finish short or long of the definition line.(I'm going to work on this some more. I really spent very little time trying to tweak them. But for me being able to keep things coordinated right in sketchup is worth a little fuss. I was really surprised at how easy the batt insulation was. I also like dropping in center lines on my openings so I know exactly what I'm snapping to in layout. They are not profiles but assemblies. Use the assembly tool in the same manner you would any assembly. Draw with the path tool or select a path and apply the assembly. I should say I have switched to doing all my linework in Layout. The new make scale drawing has made it soooo much easier.

cheers mate! now i know why i couldent find a solution for it google.

Go to the V-Ray Option Window - expand the About section - what version number does it say there?

it seems to render glass fine if it is closed cube and all the faces are the right way around. ı know if it is a group it refracts the immage kind of funny. does it matter what i have painted on the SU model if i dont paint both sides with vray material?

sketchup 7.0 with the first version of vray 1.5 i dont think it was ever updated.

@motley said: i uploaded a jpg image into my scene and played around with some of its colours. when i export as a avi the texture that is still the original jpg jumps around like there is an earht quake. the same texture that i played witht the contrast with doesent do this? why sketchup why do you do this? i resolved the matter by applying the non jumping texture to all the materials but now im curious. I have the same problem, with jumping textures in my animation exported from sketchup. I used mpeg-4 codec, 1920x1080 resolution, 25fps. Any solution somebody? Thank you very much.

i believe it is a jpg file. i copy and paste the light fixture to a nother file and re link the material and it some times works. it might be to do with the light/alpha map being in a group.
