Hi,  
I’ve just installed SketchUp and have run into an odd problem. There are black vertical lines all over the screen (not the menus, just the main scene). Example below:

Does anyone have a clue how to get rid of them? It is rather confusing and difficult to work with.

Sincerely,  
Erica

PS. If its relevant: Windows 7, 64 bit, 8 GB ram, 1.90 GHz, AMD Radeon

That looks like a graphic card issue. You can verify that by temporarily disable Hardware Acceleration from Preferences \> OpenGL.

Have you tried updating your graphic card drivers?

Is this SU2015 by the way?

I would guess that no 2015 user has yet got past the Pro trial phase, so no one will use Make until in December.
