Glass question

Hi everyone,

I got a question about glass-like materials. At SketchUp when i draw a glass object like a box or bottle, this object consists only surfaces, not like a real glass object. I mean this

How can we arrange this issue? how can i create a real glass bottle, or material...Because refrection through a empty glass and a real glass should be different... I hope i could explain myself

Thanks

Don't worry Otk, indigo interprets your model as a "solid" 3D object (if normals are aligned correctly, of course) so visualization in sketch up doesn't really matters

It is generally a good choice to have the glass object put together in a group or component, too.
So you can move it around and it doesn't messes up all the model :wink:

Yes, glass is INDEED considered solid.
