Hi thanks for your help. It seems like there isn't anyway to paint edges independently to faces when you want to paint all connected edges of a single object. Is this true? Otherwise I guess i'll have to just get my hands dirty and select every edge, which is tricky with the curved edges you see in my example.

Cheers.

Hi there,
I'm having alot of trouble controlling the fills of edges and faces.
The image attached has the basic look i'm going for.

It's no problem getting the objects to be white with a black outline, but the wrapping material you can see around the lid of the teapot is what I am having difficulty with.

As you can see it is a semi-opaque white, with white edges. What is the correct process for getting these objects to get the look I'm going for? i sometimes try to select something and fill it with a colour and it colours another object in the space as well. Sometimes when I export to photoshop (with a clear background) the edges are also semi-opaque when I want them opaque white, and thought i DID make them opaque white.

So basically I'm asking for a hand on the technical side of applying styles, correct technique etc. I'm not having that much trouble with the modelling side of things, so this is incredibly frustrating!

Can anybody help?

Cheers.

Looks like you have to set Dark to 100 and Light to 0.
Cheers for the tip!

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to Sketchup and new to these forums. The last time I spent any time seriously creating 3D models was in QBSP (A Quake level editor from way back), which I used to make 3D logos for a school project (and, of course, quake levels). I've found sketchup quite easy to learn, easier than mosr other software I've tried.

Anyway, I have a question. I'm trying to avoid the gouraud shading effect and just have flat colour on the surfaces. Is this possible?

Cheers
