Hi all, I am attempting to model some very low-poly cars for use as scenery objects. Issue #1: Each car is an individual component in Sketchup for ease of copying and modifying. When entering the component (double clicking on) and then exiting the component, the texture mapping of any Projected textures in the component distorts. This distortion changes every time the component is entered and then exited, as visualized below: Correct mapping, already inside component... Read more ..read more

Hi, I don't know why this is happening but when I export my 3D model, it looks like some of the textures are not being exported. When exported as a collada file, I checked the texture folder and I've noticed that some of the texture names, from the same image, were different from the material textures in Sketchup. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. But when I double click the kmz file and look at it in google earth, some of the textures are not there, and is pure white...

Hi guys! I'm newby in modeling. I know similar questions have been asked here but I didn't find answer to my problem. I started topic here because I'm almost sure I made something wrong with first steps. Maybe textures doesn't appropriate enough. I made an airport for Prepar3D v4 and everything seems perfect for me except apron and runway textures. They are trembling and shaking. Not flickering. - I made model in SketchUp2018. - export it in *.mdl (also I tried *.obj. Result is the... Read more ..read more

Hi, I've read at Sketch-Ucation forum that once a circle, or a segment, has been extruded using the Push/Pull tool, it is no longer possible to change the number of segments. But that was posted about 10 years ago. I was wondering if there's a new plugin that will allow me to change the number of segments. I found one plugin named Arc Set Segment version 1.4a, but that did not work and it's only for setting the number of segments before drawing the circle or arc. I hope there is a plugin...

Hi, This just happened all of a sudden and I don't understand why I'm getting this strange anomaly in Sketchup. Here the image: This happens only when I zoom in at a certain angle and my Field Of View is set to the default, which is 35 degrees. When I orbit to another angle, it does not do this and everything is fine. It should not be doing this at all. I don't know what the term is for this strange anomaly so that I can maybe find a fix on the internet. Why am I getting... Read more ..read more

I would like to create a canal for small boats using Sketchup 2021. I've searched the internet but can't find anything right now. The water is 4 meters below ground level (so -4 meters). But how do I do this? Thanks in advance Peter ..read more

Hi, I've never seen this before but when when I exported the entire terminal buildings in MCX as a DAE file and imported it into Sketchup, I've noticed that the C concourse terminal building is facing towards the east and should facing towards the west. It's facing in the opposite direction and is 180 degrees off. I know the solid green line is supposed to be the cardinal north in Sketchup but does the green solid line in model converter X also represent the same cardinal north? Why is it...

Hi, I have the older Sketchup Make 2017 installed on my computer. Now every time I try to open it, I either have to click "Agree" or click "No Thanks, and Exit." At the left, there are 2 buttons I can choose from. One says "Free Pro Trial" and the other button says "Try Sketchup Free," and neither one is actually truely free, and is a lie. It's just free for 30 days. THAT IS NOT A TRULY FREE SOFTWARE. At the top, I've noticed it says'License to Sketchup Make, Pro, and other version... Read more ..read more
