    • RE: Transparent Background

      Sorry no you did not misunderstand I think it is my understanding of your answer.

      When I do this I have a white background in layout and any 2D shape stacked behind the skp does not show because of the white. In your example it clearly works so you must have transparency whereas mine is white

      thank you for your time

    • RE: Transparent Background

      hi

      thank you. Yes that gives a white background. Is a transparent background possible?

      thanks again

    • RE: Wrap-R for SketchUp

      Sorry I am not making myself clear

      I am in Su not Wrap-r and I am marking the seams. If I use ctrl to mark the start and then shift+middle mouse to pan the act of using the shift clears the ctrl.

      In wrap-r yes the T works fine.

      If I use T in Su I would get the tape measure

      This means I cannot set the start of the seam (ctrl) and then shift+middle mouse to pan otherwise the seam start is lost. Unless I can see the whole of the seam to be marked I cannot use ctrl

      hope that helps

    • RE: Wrap-R for SketchUp

      Not sure if its mentioned here but if you want to see your texture in wrap-r then it has to be square (512 x 512 etc.). Took me a while to work that one out

    • RE: Wrap-R for SketchUp

      Thanks for the reply

      I am in edge select mode in Su. So I ctrl-click to start the loop and then have to pan so use shift-middle mouse and that changes the edge select mode to loop and I lose my start point

      thanks

    • RE: Wrap-R for SketchUp

      One of the bug bears and hopefully I have this wrong is:

      I choose ctrl to create the start of my cut and I can't see the end of my cut so I hold down the middle mouse and shift key to pan and by doing that I switch over to loop mode and lose my start cut.

      Is there a way around this?

      thank you

      Also, is there a way to pan the 3D object in wrap-r. I tried right click (which I think I saw somewhere) but that just gives me a context menu. Hand tool, middle mouse + shift does not work

      thanks again

    • RE: 'un' divide a line

      Thank you for the replies. I am in an environment where it is not possible to use extensions so all of the solutions have to be vanilla.

      thank you again

    • Texture Resolution

      I have an image at 1024 x 1024 = 173mm x 173mm @ 150 ppi (PS image attached)

      If I create a material in SU which is 173 x 173 and place it onto a rectangle of any size then I believe the resolution will be 150 ppi (SU image attached)

      If I change the size of the texture to say 86 x 86 mm then does that mean the resolution in Su is 300ppi?

      thank you

    • RE: Wrap-R for SketchUp

      Could you please confirm that it is compatible with make 2017 and pro 2019?

      thank you (the wrap-r website says pro 2018).

      Also the website has a cyber monday 2018 code is that still valid?

      thank you

    • 'un' divide a line

      Hi

      If I have a line and divide it so I can work on part of it. Is there a quick way to make it a single line again after the divide?

      If I draw back over it with the line tool the segments still remain so I end up deleting it all then adding it back in - maybe there is a quicker way

      thank you

    • Using the external editor when amending a texture

      Hi

      when I use Photoshop to amend an external editor and then save the .jpg where does it get saved to?

    • RE: Export just shadows

      It's transparency on when you export the model and then off for the shadows. Easy to miss as the options are sticky.

      Thanks again
