<r>I am quietly laughing up my sleeve at this thread. Oh my if I could tell you the hours and hours I spent trying to "fix" reflection and refraction issues with sketch up. And you nailed it on the head... Sketch up faces can orientate strangely when converted. Even if you try to have a single face ...

<t>Crafty... When you use Sketch, make sure you try to texture both sides of the model. If you select an area of your model, right click, and select reverse face to apply the same texture to both sides of the face. DAE models are always 2 sided, and this can cause problems with SH3D. I hope this ...

Did you already make it? Or is that just what you want? That looks like a roof. [:)]

If you can attach or upload the sh3d file of the entire model you have there, I'll try and see if I can make the triangle [:)]

Hansmex, Have you tried exporting the entire model, and then importing into Blender, export as DAE, and then making the triangle you need in Sketch?

<t>It's good to have different minded people working on the program.. [:)] That way, it is well rounded.<br/>

db4tech I think is more to learning how to get the renderer to be more photorealistic, while I like to make glass look better... My fascination with light is only to learn how to get ...

As far as I know, you can't turn off the 3d view, you can only open it in a new window.

<r>Ok, I'll try this. I'll see if this is better...<br/>

The layering of the meshes is what refracts the light enough to get the darker look to the glass. I also used a spectral setting which is in the mtl file.<br/>

<t>Hi Garth,<br/>

If you want to export just a single piece of furniture, you just put the one piece into the plan, and click on the export plan as obj format. Unfortunately, putting an entire program to make separate pieces of each furniture piece in a plan would be very intensive for a free ...
