Chapter 5 Rendering in SketchUp
Your first rendering should now look like Figure 5.17.
Figure 5.17: Kerkythea rendering with default parameters
As you can see, the window material didn’t transmit any light. This can happen sometimes.
Let’s go ahead and fix that by applying the Thin Glass material to the window glass.
This step also shows you how to apply a material in Kerkythea.
Select the window glass to start this process. If you used a window like mine in your
model, then you can select all of the polygons that make up the window by simply clicking
anywhere on it. Next, open the basic materials palette that came with Kerkythea in the
Material Browser on the right side of the window. A double-click on the Thin Glass material
will apply it to the selected window polygons.
