Hi. I’ve got a building design with plants on it which are 2d components and which face the camera. In the past I’ve had no trouble with an animation, including very large models, but on a recent medium large model, the face-me feature comes on and off. This 1 minute video starts off fine, but you…

Did you create those 2D FaceMe components yourself, did you import them from 3D Warehouse? SketchUp 2026 (26.2.243), Win 10.

Mix of both. They work perfectly in other animations and when orbiting this model

If you share the model, I am guessing someone can figure the issue out… as it is, all anyone can do is guess.

I think the face me components start to fail if they are nested too heavily - have a look and see if this applies to any of yours

Thanks peeps. The model is vast (250GB) too big to share (also contains some location giveaways, it’s a very controversial proposal locally…we’re proposing a no-demolition alternative for a tower block where people are under threat of eviction). BTW size hasn’t been a problem on other larger models

250GB are you sure? but that certainly sounds like they are probably nested down quite far if it’s even a large 250mb model .

We were testing this issue. Could you make the video be available again?

If SU Team could fix this issue before 3D Basecamp in November, it would help me with my talk.

Thanks. Is the problem you’re pointing out that the trees are not visible as you transition to one scene, and then suddenly appear when transitioning to the next scene?

Hi there Guys.

We took it down coz it’s locally controversial.

The face-me problem video is below.

Cheers, Hugh
