To share a large file, upload to file sharing service such as dropbox, then post the link to shared file.

Interesting question Chris. Is that a problem?
If you render a two-point perspective, but you have panned (moved the view with the hand tool) this scene will render incorrectly. Twilight can render a two-point, but not a panned two-point.

Interesting, I have never used the two-point perspective. If you pan the view and then click the button to update the scene does it work then?

Unfortunately, no, it will only render from original position. moving x or z of the cam after enabling 2-point is not supported by the underlying render engine.

Aha, thanks Fletch. I was not able to test this. Guess I need to just enjoy posts from others and perhaps just comment on the quality of the posts.

Since I cannot do any testing on my own, I need to quit trying to help people if I cannot try to test the problems being reported. :wall:

Even after following your suggestion of copying my model and pasting it in a new file, I'm still having the same issues.

Please send dropbox (or other file share system) link to me in a PM and I can try to diagnose, this is truly a strange and unique problem I have never seen before. :wall:

Skip, go to Fletch’s last post, click on the “text bubble” next to Contact on the right below Fletch’s name. Click the text bubble that pops up and it will take you to the private message page already set up to send to Fletch. Attach your model there and send away. If the .skip file is to big to attach you can attach the Dropbox link.

There is a 99% chance that this is the issue.

1. position a new camera view
2. create scene tab for the new camera
3. enable 2 point perspective in SketchUp
4. do NOT adjust position of camera after enabling 2 point perspective - this is not supported in Twilight Render's engine.
5. update the scene tab in sketchUp by righ-clicking the scene tab and choose "update"
6. render scene
