Hi, I have looked for similar questions extensively but I cannot find anyone with this issue. I modeled a sofa in blender, exported to collada, as usual, but this time the model shows edge gaps in sketchup, no matter what I do. I tried to solidify, scale, remesh, merge by distance, decimation and…

Looks to me as if you’re seeing back face color bleeding through at some of the edges. You can amplify it by turning off edges and setting the back face color to something bright. Here I’ve set the back face color to red. [Screenshot - 9_23_2023 , 3_11_04 PM] It’s just an OpenGL artifact. By the…

[image] BFW: It did not work because back faces were painted, must be a bug. Not a bug. Remove the material from the back faces so the back face color will show. [image] BFW: If a client receives this file and opens it on his interior design session in sketchup, it will have the gaps, ri…

I know it was not a bug, if its painted, its painted, it was a joke. So if I understand you well, what is causing the bleeding is the complexity of the pipeing, correct? I dont think it is that complex, still working on it though, it was a test to see how it goes. Failed??

[image] BFW: I dont think it is that complex As I mentioned previously, the piping is way more detailed than it needs to be. No one looking at the entire couch in a room will ever be able to see that detail. That detail is wasted and is just contributing to file bloat. Consider that your cou…

[image] BFW: I dont think it is that complex, well I like triangles, but that’s a lot of them :slight_smile: you might want to smoothen a bit your couch in blender, removing half the geometry can help a lot and won’t be visible, especially with that “fuzzy” material (it’s like a dotted camo, …

Excellent tips you just gave. I havent considered that the unseen parts can be uterly simplified. I agree that the polygon count could be reduced, no point arguing that. But… if you see furniture modeling in my country, you will find pieces of furniture with more than a million polygons, simple st…

[image] BFW: I havent considered that the unseen parts can be uterly simplified. Or totally removed. [image] BFW: if you see furniture modeling in my country, you will find pieces of furniture with more than a million polygons, simple stuff, couches and the like. It doesn’t matter wha…

[image] BFW: But… if you see furniture modeling in my country, you will find pieces of furniture with more than a million polygons, simple stuff, couches and the like. often, when a designer models a piece of furniture, they will make it as a standalone. the file suffices itself, you make a c…

There’s a plugin called universal importer, it can import more than 50 formats, but the best feature imo is the polygon count reduction without losing the shape of the model. Universal Importer | SketchUcation 3D SketchUp Community for Design and Engineering Professionals. …

[image] BFW: Anyone knows what is going on? Try to work with quads and make a clean topology, in one piece, to avoid those artifacts and also to have smooth surfaces. And for SketchUp (but not only), create a low poly model, which you can easily convert into a high poly model.

I managed to reduce the poly count to 19.000 in blender. I downloaded Subd but I keep getting “unable to decrese subdivision. Select one previously subdvided group” Not sure what is happening…

Or totally removed.

It doesn’t matter what country you’re in and just because others are making morbidly obese components doesn’t mean you should.

Sorry. I didn’t know you are the king. Maybe you could consider setting a much better example for your subjects.
