      Hi

      I'm using SU 7.1PRO with Vray and I have a burning question:

      I created a model with an imported terrain from Google Earth, as well as some buildings form GE.
      But I also drawed some of my own buildings in it. Now when I start rendering the whole thing, the only things visible are my own buildings. Everything imported from GE comes out black on de rendered image.

      What can I do to fix this?

        Better late than never.
        I have had this very same problem too.
        The only thing that i can think of to fix it is navigate through
        c:/program data/ASGVIS/vrayforsketchup/Textures
        and locate the file Google Earth Snapshot and deleted it.
        That way vray will be forced to create a new file.
        Or at least i think it will.

        Yes i want to become an Architect.
        Yes im pretty close to that.
