I can't figure out how to have two diffuse layers with images as texture and let them show using black and white alpha.

if i have two diffuse layers, where can i set them to show both of them at the same time?!

Thanks!!

THANKS. I TRIED IT.

I want to know why my files is so big and I do purge and cleanup, but can i view the heaviest objects or heaviest
image in my one sketchup file?

Thanks.

will try that. thanks!

also, when i tried to copy to the second model, NOT copy in place, the arrow icon turn to paint bucket icon. I DIDn't select paint bucket icon, and why the paint bucket icon show up??!! did anyone encounter this problem?

Hi you all, I sometimes have this problem:
when I copy something from a sketchup file to another sketchup file, sketchup crashes. I somehow would be able to fix the problem by deleting something, or copy a new copy...but not sure what exactly I did that I was able to fix the crash.

does anyone know what really causes this kind of crashes?

Thanks so much. and Happy New Year!

thanks, the red is changed.

just want to confirm do i have to resize the window to square in order to have the thumb nail square?

actually, when chose the batch mode, almost all other sktechup files would have square thumb nails, only one that is opened has red bands if the viewport is not square.

yes john!

I am using sketchup 2015 on macbook pro retina 2013. and using the latest os system.

i have to resize the sketchup window size to a square , if i want the thumb nail to be square. otherwise, my thumnails are always with red bands. the square button doesn't work.

also, can you change the red color to white or grey? thanks

like to donate thru paypal. your add icons plugin works. what is your paypal address. u can pm me. Thanks.

Thanks!

Can I have a dual 6 core i7 cpus set up and i think that will be a cheaper config.
I am not sure if dual i7 cpu possible. but it works. it will definitely be faster than a 8 core i7

Does Vray sketchup support dual i7 cpus???

Guys, Trimble Won't improve anything you wished here, since we are only 0.0001% of the market...haha.
But Plugin authors are the best here! Thank you all for the great plugins!

It's Still Solo's Model.
I reduced it to 5000, 2000, and 1000

wow . thanks solo!!!! but the model is too heavy though...haha

well, you need to make your scene lighter i guess. do some debugging.

i always think the strength of sketchup is it's simplicity and the weakeness of sketchup is it's simplicity. I always hate it and love it at the same time.

until there is SERIOUS competition from another new and similar software, Sketchup will always bring NO real updates to people who are screaming the loudest in the wishlist topic.

Do you guys think is it possible any company would develop a software that is more like a hybrid of sketchup/3ds max and or modo or etc...

I really want a software that is easy to use like sketchup but has all the traditional 3d software functionality.

again, I don't think Sketchup has real competitions out there. 3ds vs maya? apple vs microsfot? xbox vs ps,... Sketchup vs who??? I should stop here.

Thanks Andybot and kokoriko17 for the further help!!

I am hopeful that I will get a ideal rig for my pc built.

maybe in Vray Sketchup 3.0, we will be able to use GPU render and it will be 10 times faster than cpu...haha...

Hi you all, I am learning how to buy a new computer that will speed up my vray for sketchup render at least 4 times than using my macbook retina 2013. I am not sure will GPU render faster than using a CPU render for vray sketchup.

if I buy a super fast GPU like Titan, will that beat a very powerful CPU render??!!
