OK got it. It works. Thank you

Ah, the amazing Ms. Eneroth III comes to my rescue yet again! Only problem is I can't seem to save the scene with these aspect ratios which would be a nice enhancement if it can even be done.

to do that, one approach would be to keep the window size how it is, use the camera tools to set up your scenes, export 2D files of your scenes at desired aspect ratio, then print that file instead of printing directly from sketchup.

i.e. :

scene setup using a medium format 6 x 4.5 camera

in 2D export, unlock the export ratio and enter similar dimensions as your aspect ratio (here, 1200x900 is the same thing as 6 X 4.5)

2D export comes out the same as the camera view.. print this file.. can send .skp to a different computer etc and do the same thing without worrying about the actual window size.

I have posted 2 new models to the new Trimble warehouse... one three months ago and another 1 month ago. Both of them are still awaiting the Trimble auto-rendering robot to do the task
of giving my models an image! We used to upload our own images and they appeared right away
but no longer. Now we await an automated process to do it for us that clearly does not work!!

Where is the component's origin relative to the geometry?

Have you tried scaling your model up as suggested? Then reduce it back down once you have intersected?

Thanks guys. Going to two point perspective seemed to work pretty good.

It's under the Edit tab in Styles, now. Click on the blue cube icon and you'll find the needed controls. That change took place with SU8.

and this one ?

No special problem 😄
Maybe because you are on an office work with some limitation ?

This plugin Ferrari make the same! 😉

I was able to download finally using Chrome. I still don't know why it suddenly won't work with IE9 I tried setting my security way down. The pop up blocker was off. But at least Chrome worked.

TT's UV Toolkit can apply materials added to front face to back faces (or vice versa) even keeping the original texture positioning.

The purge did the trick! Great post. You definitely deserve a banana for this. Thanks 😍

Thanks guys I watched that video. Just to save face here I didn't model the can light it's from KT's component lights to use in with KT and the walls in the .skp was just a fast way of showing my predicament with the can light but thanks TIG for your explanation. I think instead of using there's I'll model my own.

thanks, i knew it had to be something ridiculously simple like that, but it had me stumped.

I think he means a tool for normal mapping, bump mapping or something similar to that which, when applied to a surface, will deform and add vertexes to the mesh according to the map?
or perhaps a real-time render plugin that makes it look that way even though it isn't?

I'm not sure myself
