I haven't used NL2 in a while but I discovered this is happening post-patch. You can see far parts of the rail showing through the closer pieces. Anyone have any suggestions?

Actually I think this is being caused by the texture I'm using. I changed the metal textures to nothing but solid colors by editing the .png files sketchup exports and now it's no longer doing it.

Looks like I gotta find a new texture or use my old one. I'd prefer not to use the old one since it becomes repetitive.

My hunch was right. Swapped the texture and now everything appears to be fine.

All apart from the underside of this railing:

Possibly the back-face showing, which might need flipping. Looks good otherwise!

I checked the entire model before posting the topic to make sure no faces were like that. I noticed it was only happening when one metal texture intersected another. Changing the texture solved the issue. I'm keeping this topic available in case anyone else has the same issue.

I just use supports and free nodes and never worry about missing or reversed faces ever.

This model will use support nodes in some spots actually. A first for me.
