      I use Vray and have the same problem....so I reckon its a sketchup thing...? Luckily the Vray asset editor makes it easy to do bulk material deletes. But, it is annoying to keep having all these 'auto' materials being made.

      "Agreed. You have to however keep in mind what the Police have to deal with on a daily basis, with much the same excuses to gain some advantage and possibly escape or attack the Officer". I get what you are saying and have been in a similar position while not for as long a period. The job jades/exhausts people to insulate them from the things they see and at that point a seemingly intelligent, normal human being puts their body weight on the carotid of a person on the ground. 10 to 15 seconds of occlusion results in a much lowered level of consciousness and reduced respiratory effort, that officer knelt on that persons carotid for seven minutes or five minutes longer than he was conscious. Many officers have seen what he saw and worse and not done that. This is not the first episode of this type of insult to a controlled prisoner either, training SHOULD have taken place to make officers aware of the methods that can be used to control a suspect or prisoner and kneeling on the jugular for any length of time is not included. Three other officers allowed it to happen through apathy or group ties and that itself is a problem as well as a strength. With it the social and moral breaks we all have can be responsible for all kinds of excesses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment this proves the consequences of our moral judgement being impaired. Basically put, there was no need for the man to die, he did not have to break the law and the officer could have let up well before he did. Two wrongs do not make a right and no, I am not perfect.

      "So I see they aren't "stored" in the file." Actually the textures are stored in the file. That's how you can send someone else the file and they can see the textures or pry them out of the file. Did the wine bottles come from the 3D Warehouse?

      Edit material only shows the material name in the box below. If I edit texture (open GIMP) Gimp has a name which relates to the image file. Yet sometimes the GIMP name doesn't correspond to anything I can find. So far the only way that MIGHT tell me the actual texture hame is to open in GIMP. That would be slow in trying to manage textures in reducing them for example. With the Twilight export I can easily see what textures are larger--but finding what they are in the Sketchup file is another matter, especially when the image in SU is so small it just looks like a solid color.

      As a test, can you get it to work with a different keyboard shortcut?

      As Christmas approaches, I set aside my favorite classical music to play in lieu of the radio offerings. I pack about 6 hours of mp3 recordings on each CD.

      The Mac previews are presented by a thing called a QuickLook Generator (QLG). SketchUp started including its own QLG only a few versions ago. It's not clear that it is fully stable - I too sometimes see the generic icon instead of a preview.

      @baz said: Check Preferences/Open GL. And see if the settings are different... I switched that around some and didn't see anything. I didn't do a side by side comparison though. One thing that is new is that Mac now has AA settings built-in. They don't seem to affect this... maybe a little, because the lines are cleaner.
