Question shadows sketchup
Hi,

I'm working with sketchup-files and have a problem with the shadows. It looks like that the sketchup-shadows are flipped. I'm using a point light in the view settings.

I've added an example. Can anyone please confirm this problem? Maybe it is just a selfmade problem

Thanks

Carsten

With v5 I can't open the file. Flexsim freezes and I get an error message in the system console.



With v6 I get the same problem (I guess). I attached some screenshots.

Thanks for screenshots and response!

Our Sketchup importer doesn't seem to be reading the normals correctly. In Sketchup, you can flip which face is the front and which is the back, but that isn't affecting the Flexsim import right now. The problem is probably fixable on our end by modifying how we read the normals from the skp file.

I'll add it to the development list to look into it.
