Rendering In Sketchup 2017

I started using SketchUp as part of my work as a general contractor in 2008. I quickly realized the power of the software and started using it for personal projects. I started The SketchUp Essentials as a place to share easy to follow SketchUp tutorials and tips to help everyone harness the power of 3D Modeling in their lives. SU Podium V2.6 has been released for SketchUp 2017 - 2021. Adds support for HDR image-based lighting, with almost 40 sky options included! Podium Browser is now fully included with a Podium V2.6 license — purchasing the upgrade is the most cost-effective way to unlock over 25,000 render-ready furniture components, appliances, materials, and more! Listing of available Rendering Extensions for SketchUp. This should be titled a partial listing; there are other SU compatible renderers available that do not appear on this list (some are identified earlier in this thread). To render within SketchUp and see a model as a high-resolution photorealistic image you will need to download and install a SketchUp rendering extension. You will be amazed at your customer’s reactions when you show them a rendering of your 3D designs with lighting, shadows and reflections providing depth and realism.

In SketchUp, you can create and edit styles so that you can apply your preferred style settings with a single click.

Tip: If you want to develop a sketchy edges style, check out Style Builder.

To create a new style, follow these steps:

Open the Styles panel by toggling it open in the Default Tray. Or select Window > Default Tray > Styles so that the Styles option is selected.
Open the Styles panel by selecting Window > Styles.
In the upper right, click the Create New Style button (). SketchUp creates a copy of the currently active style in the In Model styles.
Click the Select tab, click the In Model icon (), and in the list of styles that appears, select your new style so that it’s the active style.
Click the Edit tab, click the Edge Settings icon (), and select your desired edge options.
Click the Face Settings icon () and select your desired face options. The following figure shows the Edge Settings (Callout 1) and the Face Settings (Callout 2). In the following tables, you find a basic illustration and explanation of each setting.
Click the Face Settings icon () and select your desired face options. The following figure shows the Edge Settings (Callout 1) and the Face Settings (Callout 2). In the following tables, you find a basic illustration and explanation of each setting.
Select the Background Settings icon (), and choose how you’d like the background to appear. See Customizing a Model’s Background with Styles for details about these settings.
(Optional) If you’d like to include a watermark in your style, click the Watermark Settings icon () and select your options. Your options are explained in Watermarking a Model.
(Optional) Check that visual cues such as selection colors work well with your new style. If needed, you can use the Edit tab's Modeling Settings pane to change the colors for selections and other modeling color cues.
Click the Update Style with Changes button () in the upper right of the Styles panel. If the Update Style with Changes button is grayed out, your style is up-to-date.

SUBSCRIPTION ONLY

In SketchUp for Web, you can create and customize styles by editing existing ones. To edit a Style (or create a new style), first, pick a Style from the Styles panel (in the right-hand utility tray). Then, next to the Style name and thumbnail, click the Edit icon.

Note: Here, you are editing a copy of the Style you picked from SketchUp’s style menu. You can always go back to the original “default” style by browsing SketchUp’s style options. Your edited style (which you can rename if you like) will live in the In Model Styles pane

When editing a Style, you can configure the:

Edge Settings. See below for visual examples of edge controls.
Face Settings. See below for visual examples of face controls.
Background Settings: Choose how you’d like the background to appear. Learn more about background style settings.
Modeling Settings: Here you can configure a ton of modeling preferences. Specifically, you can set the colors of bounding boxes and guides, section cut lines and fill. Your modeling settings also control the default visibility setting for hidden geometry, section planes, guides, and even the model axes.

Important: when you are done editing your style, be sure to click the Done button at the bottom of the Styles panel. If you click, Cancel, your settings will revert back to the original style you selected.

Tip: To edit a style (including any predefined style that comes with SketchUp), simply follow Steps 3–8 in the preceding steps.

Note: All the In Model styles are saved with your model; see Managing In Model Styles and Collections for details.

Option	Example	Good to Know
Edges	Toggles the display of edges in your model. The example shows edges toggled on (selected).
Back Edges	Displays edges obscured by other edges in your model. Obscured edges appear as dashed lines. When selected, this setting disables the X-Ray face style.
Profiles	Emphasizes the outlines of major shapes in your model. This style borrows from a drawing technique that emphasizes the 3D nature of geometry. Enter a thickness, in pixels, for the profile lines.
Depth Cue	Emphasizes foreground lines over background lines. Enter a foreground line thickness in pixels.
Extension	Extends each line slightly past its endpoint for a hand-drawn appearance. This style does not affect inference behavior. Enter a length, in pixels, for the extension lines.
Endpoints	Places additional line thickness at the endpoints of lines. Enter a length, in pixels, for the length of the emphasized endpoints.
Jitter	Renders each line multiple times at a slight offset, giving your model hand-drawn sketched appearance. This edge rendering style does not affect inference behavior.
Color: All Same	Displays all edges in the color defined in color swatch. This option does not actually change any edge color assignments you may have made, but preserves them if you choose to view them again.
Color: By Material	Displays edges with an assigned material color, such as those painted with a color.
Color: By Axis	Edges that aren't aligned with an axis are colored with the All Same color swatch. Also, an axis color doesn’t appear on hidden edges.

In the next table, you see all the ways you customize faces’ appearance.

Option	Example	Good to Know
Front Color, Back Color	Sets the default color for all front and back sides of faces. Materials assigned to faces override this setting. Here a face was removed from the cube so that you can see the front color is yellow and the back color is blue.
Style: Wireframe	Displays only the model’s lines. Because faces are not displayed, you can’t use face modification tools, such as the Push/Pull tool.
Style: Hidden Line	Display faces without any shading or textures. *Tip:* This option is handy for printing only in black and white.
Style: Shaded	Shades faces to simulate a light source.
Style: Shaded Using Textures	Displays shading to simulate a light source and any textures applied to a face. *Tip:* Textures require more memory to render your model. If you experience performance problems, switch to a style without textures.
Style: Shaded Using All Same	Displays faces with the default front and back face color.
X-Ray	Makes all faces transparent so you can see through your model. *Tip:* In this mode, you can easily visualize, select, and snap to points and edges that would otherwise be hidden behind faces. However, you can’t select and infer faces that would otherwise be hidden. Faces cannot cast shadows in X-Ray mode, which is different from material transparency.
Enable Transparency	Toggles global material transparency on or off.
Transparency Quality	Choose among the Faster, Medium, and Nicer options. Choose between the Faster and Nicer option. Each differs in its speed and quality of transparency sorting. Faster sacrifices accuracy to provide faster rendering, whereas Nicer performs additional calculations to correctly display transparent surfaces. *Tip:* With Nicer selected, you can adjust the X-Ray opacity to create compelling presentation images, such as the one shown in the following figure.

Note: X-Ray mode can be very sensitive to z-fighting, which makes overlapping faces flash or appear striped as you orbit. With opaque models, z-fighting only occurs on surfaces you can see. In X-Ray mode, you may see z-fighting on several surfaces. However, static images look quite nice.

Note: With the X-Ray faces mode set to Nicer, you may notice SketchUp running more slowly than when Faster is selected. SketchUp 2017 substantially improves SketchUp’s performance in X-Ray mode. To take advantage of these improvements, buy or upgrade your SketchUp Pro license. For details about buying or upgrading a license, as well as the different types of licenses available, see Buying or Upgrading a License.

Tip: The basic shape tools use a thin solid line. To create dashed lines, see Applying Dashed Lines to Layers.

Layout freezes with a never-ending spinning rainbow wheel when attempting to render a drawing in hybrid imported from Sketchup. Works fine on raster but I need higher def. Model is of a small residential guest house with detail, another structure in low detail, and some earth detail of the small lot.

My machine should and has handled similar drawings in the past.
