            is there a reason this plug hides the geometry as well as the layer? if it just hid the layer one could use wireframe ghost but still render it, but with the geometry being hidden too it doesn't work that way. 😒 any work around for this?

              Hi Fredo thanks for this awesome plugin! i have a question.... first mi render motor is vray, when i turn a component into a ghost, when i render the components it just a cube a surface or anything depending of the component, theres no way to render the original component being a ghost? the case is that i dont want to render the geometry that the plugins does, only the original component....thank you very much!

                No - there is no proxy function in VfSU. Yet!

                    Hi, when I try to copy/paste a component + its ghost component generated in a file "1" into another file, it seems, that the relation between them is broken ...

                    It would be very handy to preserve the relation between original component and ghost during transportation between files.
                    For example wireframe ghost of a highpoly tree takes a while to generate and it isn't practical to do it every time you insert the tree into new model ..

                    Very nice toolset Fredo πŸ˜„

                      You should keep in mind that GhostComp is a conceptual plugin. Really, what it does should be done in native by SU, and in a much more efficient way. To preserve the links between files for components is simply not possible with the Ruby API as it is today.

                          Pavel,

                          I don't know VRay, but I doubt the concept of proxy for Vray matches Ghostcomp.
                          Actually, Ghostcomp is really conceptual. This is a good example of what Sketchup should do natively, in much better and simple way, including being able to connect the concept to rendering software.

                          Fredo

                            V-Ray for SketchUp cannot currently use proxies.

                              to make a render is it necessary to turn components to their real version???
                              or they can be in ghost version?
                              pls i need help!!

                                  This tool is essential for those who send files with repetitive components to 3ds max.
                                  Unfortunatly only after removing this tool I solved the "grey out menus" problem. Is there any chance to update it?

                                    Have you updated your FredoLib files? I think most the issues lied within that library, not in the individual plugins. (with an odd exception)

                                      Yes I used latest lib pack (not 100% sure). Today I'll try it once more

                                        I've found a glitch with the code in 'GhostCompAlgo.rb'

                                        def onActivePathChanged(*args)
                                        	path = Sketchup.active_model.active_path
                                        	return unless path
                                        	comp = path.last
                                            return unless comp.valid? ###<<<
                                        	return unless is_ghost?(comp)
                                        	ask_confirmation comp
                                        end
                                        

                                        If you don't include the extra line I've indicated with ###<<< then you get weird errors in the Ruby Console if you have been editing and then deleting Components... This simple fix ignores recently deleted components etc so no errors...
