hmm ill have to check that one out. thanks sojourner

Hey Kona,

Try opening windows, then go to preferences, then click openGL. Try clicking on fast feed back instead of hardware acceleration. And if it is already on fast feed back then click it off and click onto hardware acceleration. From my personal expierence I prefer fast feed back since my graphics card is crap and shows that error all the time. I hope that solves your problem.

Kool,

Thanks a bunch guys really helpful information!! I'll be sure to do that.

Hey guys!

I have a question about rendering programs. Still kinda clueless as to what they are. Don't you use rendering to make your image more realistic? Like as far as colors and textures? If you guys could explain what I could do learn more about rendering please let me know. I've tried to look up rendering program tutorials but no luck.

Thanks for your time

Kool Thanks guys appreciate the info. Rock on!

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you can x-ray only certain parts of an object. Like I'm building a fully enclosed trailer and I want to show most of it in x-ray mode but without making the picture look to crazy with a bunch of lines. Is this possible? Let me know. Thanks

~Rsdevour

Kool it worked. Thanks man appreciate it. Sorry for the confusion

Hey guys thanks for all the info. Sorry for my noobie mistakes. I will hide those lines in the group Voder thanks for the further explanation . Ill have to fool around with my settings. If nothing else works ill go to my better gaming computer. James my wall shows me that it does have a thickness i just don't know if its enough. The panels we use for the walls are only 1/4 inch thick. I do not see the style settings in edit. Is it part of SU pro? Im not very techish hehe. I appreciate the replies. Again sorry for the noob mistakes.

Thanks for the info Voder. Unfortunately they are not working. Maybe my noobness is involved lol. I made the wall cabinet a group like you said but yet I still see the lines through. I moved it outward and then inward to see if it would help but it didn't. Do you think I should make all my components first before I stick everything into place where I need them? Then I also tried to grab the purple surface next to the door with ctrl but I cannot get that surface to move at all it doesn't highlight for me or nothing I always get another surface. Its rather frustrating. Do you think it could be a computer problem? Or maybe the design is off? Sorry I am really new to sketchup and am really tring to learn it. I appreciate your time in helping me.

Hey guys its just me again.

Sorry I have so many questions lol. But I have yet another problem . The trailer that I have been working on for a couple of days is showing lines from the cabinet I have made through the wall. I know the surfaces that you make are paper thin so I finally added the wall thickness of 1/4 thick. But when I tilt it certain ways I can still see the outline of the cabinet and so on. Does anyone know a fix of this? I just want the walls to show no lines. Should I just hide the lines that are visible through the wall? Also 1 other thing. Can anyone really grab the purple surface on the door side to push/pull it? It's not letting me push/pull it. It seems to go through it. I also cannot paint the purple surfaces. Thanks again for your time.

This is the trailer. It's a seperate save incase I messed up with the walls.

It finnally painted the tongue! YAY! I went to check if there was another surface like tobobo was saying there might be. I deleted it noticed that there was not another surface so I undid and tried to paint it one more time. Then it finally popped it in. Maybe it was a glich or it didnt work lol. Anyway I really appreciate all the help you guys have helped me with. You guys R Teh Awesome! Thanks a bunch!

~Rsdevour

will do as soon as i get into work tomorow.

nah im trying to paint it white. i think i just need to keep trying lol. hopefully 1 click will get it!!!!!

Hey there Remus,

I tried the shaded with textures and still no luck. I appreciate the help man. Heres some pics maybe this will help. if not o well

~Rsdevour

I did try the hardware acceleration and correct reverse picking and it doesnt seem any better. And I don't belive it is grouped. Would a picture help at all or no? Let me know and ill post one of what im trying to paint. Thanks for the comments

Hey there SU!

I've got quite an annoying problem with paint bucket. Im just simply trying to paint a tongue of a trailer. But for the life of me it won't paint the dang pieces. I orbit all over the place to see if it will finally paint and it does nothing but make me click like a thousand times. Does anyone know what the problem is? I didn't think paint would be this hard but its like it is clicking on another panel instead of them one im looking at. If anyone knows please let me know what is going on. Information is greatly appreciated. This is probably a silly question

Thank you so much Juan! I feel like an idiot that I didn't do that in the first place haha! Dude you just helped me out a bunch your awesome thx!

Hey there guys!

Ive got a newbie question but can I not load pictures because im using the free version? I've got jpegs im trying to put into sketchup but when I go to import the pictures their not popping up. Does the free version not allow you to do that? Or am I doing something wrong? Is there a step I forgot to do? I'm trying to learn off of the sketchup for dummies book how to do this.

Thanks

Kool thanks edson. I'll check those out! I appreciate the help.
