#SOFTEN EDGES IN SKETCHUP HOW TO#

I've found w/ SU that sometimes you have to fiddle a lot w/ blemishes like this and you sometimes just get a feel for it's inadequacies and how to compensate. In the Soften Edges panel, move the slider all the way to the left. Without knowing what workflow you used and what plugins were used to create the geometry, I can't be sure what you may have done, if anything at all, to cause the problems. Choose View Hidden Geometry so that the Hidden Geometry menu option is selected. I hit zoom extants (zoomed out) to get the screen shot. Then using Eraser+shift key as in example above to soften the 4 lines made it smooth. Materials on groups/components also makes VfSU spend an insane long time parsing the scene before rendering. I then used paint bucket to color it w/ your material color. Re: How to render soft edges Don't apply material to groups/components. Basically redrawing over all 4 edges w/ the line tool which fixed the surface. In episode 1 of my new video series on the SketchUp Extension JHS Powerbar, learn to use the smart edge softening tool AMS Soften Edges to soften edges. Again, turning on hidden geometry, I tried various things and looking at the problem area from various angles and finally what worked was zooming way in on it and 'healing' the quadrilateral.

I deleted the co-planar edge then softened the remaining edges with eraser tool plus holding shift key down and it looked smooth to me. I believe Soften Edges just determines the angle that the edge of facets. You can't see it w/o turning on hidden geometry. Is there any way in either Sketchup or Rhino to improve the mesh settings so I. I found 2 separate problems w/ your problem areas. I have SU 2017 make desktop version for windows.
