Hello, you. Can read official manual and help pages on Rayscaper site. Much better and easy to use than a pdf.

Hey folks, A new Mac beta is up: Rayscaper 0.9.104. Get it here: Rayscaper for Mac It brings the Mac up to date with the latest Windows release. What's new since 0.9.103: Light presets with real brightness: bulbs, downlights, an LED panel, a window, the sun and more. You set a light's intensity in lumen, cd/m² or lux, and a new light starts as a real one, like a 60 W bulb. Lights are easier to place and aim: while a light is selected, SketchUp shows the cone of a spotlight, the radius of a point light and the spread of an area light. The new Aim Light tool turns a light towards the point you click, and right-clicking a light gives a Rayscaper submenu: Edit in Rayscaper, Turn Off/On, Aim and Change Type. More light controls: change the size of an area light in Rayscaper's light editor, and copies of a light in SketchUp keep its settings. Material ID and Object ID render methods, and render passes (Material ID, Albedo, AO, ...) in File > Render Scenes... Translucency in the Standard material, for curtains, lampshades and leaves lit from behind. Thin glass modelled as a single face now reflects too. Fixes: hidden nested tag folders stay hidden when their parent folder is made visible, plus fixes for crashes when removing lights, groups and components while rendering, and a notification instead of a crash when the GPU runs out of memory on a very large render. If you installed an earlier beta: install this one over it, then restart SketchUp. Thanks to everyone testing, keep the feedback coming! Cheers, Thomas

Wish I still had SketchUp ans RayScaper so I could mess with this combination. I have used both of these tools in the past and am excited to see this combo working together. to both of you @pixelcruncher and @fredo6.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the quick reply. It's working now. Thanks so much!

I am facing the same issue @fredo6 . hope yours has been resolved @matols73

Tried it a few builds back. Very impressive stuff and developing at high pace. Might revisit again.

Wonderfull! Thank you! 🥳

Disclosure first: I'm one of the founders of Vizbase, an AI rendering extension for SketchUp, so read this with that in mind. @miikka1978, your point about editing only certain materials or parts of the model is the problem we built around. Vizbase detects the elements in the captured view (walls, floor, ceiling, joinery, furniture) and you set a material for each one, typed, from a reference photo or from a material library, instead of one prompt for the whole image. After rendering, Refine lets you mask an area and change only that. It isn't flawless. On a renovation project last month the first pass dropped a plaster ceiling rose that was in the model, and it took a Refine pass with a reference image to bring it back. And as @Krass says, consistency across several viewpoints is still the hard part for every AI renderer, ours included. Since testing on your own models came up: the free plan has 5 credits a month (up to 10 renders, no card), and the SketchUp extension works on it, so you can try it on your own model without paying. If anyone wants more room for a proper test on a real project, message me and I'll set up free Studio access. Post the results here, good or bad.

Hello, it's time to use Rayscaper

Great plugin, very usefull to prepare mesh for subdivision

Hello, T for tape meter shortcut. Then, like in sketchup. But you won't first see this guide until you clic

Update: another tool is in - Invisible Plane. Select a surface and click Invisible Plane, and the tool creates a plane from it, automatically placed on a tag. You can then draw lines on that plane no matter where you click, so after rotating the camera they are still on the plane instead of ending up somewhere else. The plane can be turned on and off with its tag, or deleted completely. Video: https://youtu.be/GU133K7tTgg Short: https://youtube.com/shorts/YPrrJx6pbM0 I'll keep adding the rest of the tools one by one. Feedback is welcome, especially on which tools you'd like to see next.

New demo video is up, showing the whole workflow from a DWG floor plan to a finished 3D model: https://youtu.be/MTUcujdLiHI The extension is available with a 1-week free trial: https://sabahattin81.gumroad.com/l/gtkygx Feedback and test drawings are very welcome!

Awesome and easy to use Tool. Thank's to Samuel Thallet. Waiting soon for his integration in SketchUp as a plugin.

Hi everyone, I'd like to take a step back and clarify how we hope this early build is viewed. Please keep in mind that this is not a full, finished commercial extension yet. It's an early prototype designed primarily to showcase a specific workflow and design approach for custom furniture. At this stage, our main goal is not to sell a polished product, but to gather your feedback on the core philosophy and speed of assembly: are we solving the right problems, and is this the right direction for custom workshops? We would love to hear your thoughts on whether this concept resonates with your workflow!
