It would be better to do the celebrations and discussion of new stuff in the proper place instead of here :

don't be that way! we need something to discus and this totally relates to SU.

This is a bit OT, but I downloaded the demo and gave SU/Twilight a shot. Slick & easy interface. One question that's bugging me; I noticed several folks used twilight to render in the "Render This :SSS" thread, and came up with smooth surfaces. I rendered a cube & sphere similar to the ones in the thread and wound up with a very faceted sphere, even with SD&S applied to it. I'm used to Kerkythea where I just select the material and tell it "smooth", what's the secret in TW?

That happens from time to time; it's simply weird. Usually solved by just grouping the geometry or ticking "weld vertices" in the material editor. Of course, you'll get better replies from the tech support guys (Fletch, Chris and Frederik) if you post in the TWL forum.

i think there are more twilight users here than there. take YOU for example. No.1 tech support guru.

Sounds Good!

I just recently started twilighting around... keep them updates coming! fun fun!

How do I update then?

Simply install it on top of previous versions...

chango70 · 17 Nov 2009, 11:50

Download the demo version?

Yes, download the demo. it worked for me.

I was confused with that too... I think the website should be clearer about how updates are obtained and installed

Fair point...
I will make sure that we do it better in the future...

Although Chris posted this announcement here at the SCF, I recommend that users always search about things on the TWR Forum ...
Posts here at the SCF should be seen as a service, similar to how other applications are posting such announcements...

Please see the Version 1.1 thread...

Downloaded v1.1 demo, installed it, my license is gone. It says i have a demo version now. What the hell?

remus · 18 Nov 2009, 08:03

Are you still running the very first version by any chance? i remember having a similar problem after my first upgrade (to a maintenance release.)

You can easily get another license through the usual method by the way, its just a bit of a faff.

I can only assume that you didn't have the latest version (ver. 1.0.19)
installed...

Any way... Unless you're installing TWR on another computer or have upgraded the OS, you can simply use and install the license key you've received previously...
(If you haven't got this anymore, you need to request a new license key...)

Chango, I can easily see the reason in your OS info: You're running Vista 64-bit and according to the new version announcement, those running Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit might have to re-request their licenses only if they never upgraded to TWL 1.0.19 (which introduced a change in licensing for 64-bit OSs), which seems to be your case.

BTW, has anyone noticed this is already the fourth TWL release? You should check the forum more often, TWL moves really fast.

I downloaded and installed but when I went to the TW Options/About menu it still reads version 1.0. Am I doing something wrong here?

Ecuadorian · 18 Nov 2009, 15:37

Do you have more than one SketchUp version installed on your hard drive? Perhaps you installed it on the other one.

david_h · 18 Nov 2009, 15:46

No. . ..it seems to create a file tree plugins/twilight/twilight with duplicate files in each. I try to copy one over the other and it won't let me. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled but it doesn't fix it.

Oops! I figgered it out.

Thx,
