Render Window Not Updating

As I make changes in the SketchUp file, my render window does not update automatically to reflect any changes. I also do not have pan/zoom options available in the render window as I’ve seen others use.

My material editor and Light Placement tools also do not yield results in my render window.

Please advise. Thanks,

Amber

Hi Amber,

Can you first check that you have auto-update mode enabled before you click the ‘render’ button? This should be the default option, but if it has somehow been changed, that would explain the behaviour you’re seeing.

You can select auto-update mode by clicking the ‘cog’ button in the Shaderlight toolbar and then choosing ‘Auto’ from the ‘Update’ dropdown menu.

Zooming the render is achieved by operating your mouse / trackpad’s scroll-wheel function. On macOS, you also need to hold the command key to activate the zoom control. Once you are zoomed in enough that the image doesn’t fit within the render window, you should be able to pan by clicking and dragging within the render window. On macOS you can also pan by using your trackpad’s scrolling feature.
