SketchUp 2025 introduced some very nice visualization capabilities: PBR materials and environments. While those are great (especially for exteriors), indoor material reflections are a bit tricky. In this video I show you how you can create some good-looking reflections (in e.g. floors or mirrors) with a simple trick.
For more on what you can do with @SketchUp, check out my book "Architectural Design with SketchUp" and my website: https://sketchupfordesign.com/
