You can see grass material in palette and on exported image look similar… and in sKetchup model area it is very bright.
I can not say when it happened exactly… I remember when first time I noticed it, it was someone’s else model and I thought it was just different style and bright materials… I was as well working on 30 days trial 2019… and now came back to our offices 2016,
It was some time ago but I might have export-imported preferences (not only shortcuts…) between 2016 and 2019… (and maybe opposite way)… not sure really it was some time ago…
Only Today I realised it when I was helping coworker to set up sKetchup on his PC… I exported my pref settings and imported on his PC… and his display is now like mine…
Is it some setting that I can adjust? I tried opening new file… same… it is not shadow settings neither style… Don’t know where to look.
File > Export > 2D Graphics… Format doesn’t matter… I tried jpg and png… both look good my problem is with display… images are correct… display of model area is too Bright… (judging from older projects which I finished before I encountered this problem…)
I runned Repair from instalation file… still the same…
I noticed that sKetchup 8 has the same issue… so I it can be something with my PC though AutoCad is fine as is Gimp, Photoshop,…Blender…
I don’t really know what kind of setting it would have to be since sKetchup 8 and 2016 are installed in different Folders… different company…
And more funny… Coworker who has 2016 and 2019 on his PC … I didn’t do anything with his 2019… and the model area displays normally… 2016 is Bright… Exported images identical… I didn’t see difference between mine 2016 and 2019 trial… but maybe I just didn’t notice it (I was not really opening 2016 during that 30 days…) and I can not check it any more…
will try uninstall … restart PC install again… but that should have no effect on sK-8… Whatever it was I did it should have no effect on sK-8 since I was not using it since I installed it on new PC a few months ago… still this error somehow goes there…
I installed 2020 and made another account on trimble to use trial… (I shouldn’t but dealing with another issue here and am so curious…) Works fine… all good…
So I thought it is not some general setting hidden somewhere else just local installation… I uninstalled… restarted PC (cos who knows - maybe… sth). installed 2016 again… and NOTHING has changed… still model area is excessively Bright…
No more ideas… I’m dead…
IT doesn’t matter if I go inside a group or component… That works normally except brighter (when going inside rest of model fades)… Its continuous.
I am willing to think as @MikeWayzovski … I didn’t notice this issue stright after changing to new PC few moths ago but it could be some driver update (automatic maybe so I wouldn’t know… )… Aspecially that it affects both sK-2016 and sK-8…
Will have one more reason when discussing with boss updating the software too…
