    In the properties tab, try setting the Material Class to General Material and then set the Specular level to 100pct.You may need to adjust further but this is where I'd start.

    Another RayTrace interior rendering...

    You might also find a decent model online. Here's a selection from 3D Warehouse https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/?q=cupola&searchTab=model

    You can turn lights on and off and adjust other properties in the 'Adjust Lights' panel. It is accessible from the drop menu on the 'Adjust Lights' button in the menu bar (look for the light bulb symbol). You should also click on 'Light Set' in the DBX for your camera. Here's a good overview from the Knowledge Base https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00777/working-with-light-sources.html

    The OP asked "if it's possible to show pocket doors open and pushed back in 3d?"
  10. ericepv
    This is simple to do. Just open the DBX for the door and in the 'General' tab, adjust the swing angle (works for pocket doors too), then go to the 'Options' tab and click "Show Open' in the 3D Display section.

    Draw in a polyline and then convert to a molding.

    You first need to convert this to a symbol. Select the entire door and right click, click on 'Convert Selected to Symbol' at the bottom of the box. Once you have done this, select the symbol and then click on the symbol editing bottom at the bottom of your screen (usually 3rd in from the left). Use the rotation commands in the DBX. Check out this article from the Knowledge Base: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01021/editing-a-symbol-s-rotation.html

    I've used Firefox for many years (on the latest version now) and have never encountered this problem. I just downloaded several libraries yesterday without issue, perhaps it's a Windows problem.

    Like Joe said, you won't see it in a Vector view, try standard or watercolor.
