        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.

                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

                      Fredo

                      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...

                            Hello,

                            I have used ghost plug in to make proxy out of original object..
                            I have kept object in proxy format and exported it to kerkythea.
                            When i render it in kerkythea proxy object rendered without material why so?? Do we have convert the back to original form before exporting it into kerkythea every time??

                            Also i have some issues regarding camera in kerkythea. i have placed 3 cameras in the scene and have exported to kerkythea, but whenever i open the scene, i could not find the camera on the same location i have placed it? is it any kind of bug in kerkythea?? or there is some problem in my SU and kerkythea or somthing else?? ple help

                            Regards,
                            MANDAR

                              Yes, I am afraid you do. Ghost Components plugin can only solve performance issues in SU but it would not work as a proxy plugin for exporters. Certainly it could be modified somewhat (and/or the exporter plugin could accommodate) but for that, the two, different authors of the plugins should co-operate on one that works this way.

                              But then all the other renderers could ask the same.

                              Gai...

                                    Wow! What a great plugin... 😍 😍 😍 😍

                                    I can not thank you enough to make this possible on sketchup... Where have I been so far to miss this wonderful plugin. SU Team surely should incorporate this in SU native version. I believe they will put this in the new Trimble Sketchup... Great work Fredo!!! and thanks once again....

                                      Thanks for this! IΒ΄ve only had a short test/peek/session w this RB. It seems super useful!

                                      I had one problem, though: I saved the model when in ghost mode and closed the program. When I opened the same model later I couldnΒ΄t reset the geometry to the complex form. I just saw the ghost. Have anyone else had similar experiences?

                                        Fredo,I just wondered would this dirty trick http://72.27.230.245/3ds-max/scripts/renderlayers-0 be possible in SU8?

                                            Have you activated its Extension from within Preferences.
                                            You might also then need to activate its Toolbar...
