The bad news is, you've managed to find one of the very few SketchUp models I've seen so far that can't easily be ...

<r>That's strange.

Could you explain in a little more detail what problem you're having -- possibly with examples? The reason I ask is there should be no ...

Unfortunately, one has to strike a happy medium between using a light source small ...

An excellent work-around for the frosted glass issue. Unfortunately, it isn't quite applicable to my needs.<br/>
