Thought it might be worth mentioning here that SketchUp has released an update to the FIlm & Stage Plugin. The plugin is now called the Advanced Camera Tools and is freely available for download from the SketchUp website, under downloads > plugins.

how to get a white background

[4sketchupgo2school]

@aanrechtmuis easiest way might be to pick a different template. Go to your SketchUp preferences window (Mac = SketchUp > Preferences; PC = Window > Preferences), and open the Template pane. I prefer the Beginning Training Template - Inches which has a white ground plane, and a light blue sky.

You also have the option to customize the ground and sky colors in the Styles window. Go to Window > Styles, then click the Edit tab, and then click the Background settings button.

where do you find this plugin?

[4sketchupgo2school]

this plugin is the Film and Stage Plugin. it was created for SKP V5. you can download from the SketchUp website. from the home page, click on downloads > plugins then find the link for plugins for 'older versions of SketchUp'

when you install the plugin it will create folders in your SKP V5 directory. and you'll need to relocate the associated files to the SKP V6 directory.
