yes..thank you..

Version 2.0.0

Removed the Sync Camera feature. V-Ray for SketchUp should now correctly match the SketchUp viewport.
Added "Purge V-Ray Materials" for removing V-Ray data from materials.
Added "Use as Material Override"
Added "Reset Camera Aspect"
Aspect Ratio and Export Safeframe is now merged into one dialog.
Adjusting aspect ratio tried to compensate for viewport "jumping". (Not perfect in all cases)
Added "Recreate Scene" to rebuild photomatch scenes as normal scenes.
Bug fixes.

Hi thomthom,

This sounds exactly like what I'm looking for (having issues with 2-point perspectives in Vray not matching SU) - do I need to do anything special with the .rz file? I just copied it into my SU plug ins folder but it seems nothing happened. Will I get a new tool bar or something the drop-down menu?

Thanks so much.

V-Ray doesn't support 2pt perspectives. This plugins cannot fix that.

To install RBZ files you need to use the Install Extension feature in SketchUp.

I'm super excited about this plugin!........but the file isn't opening on my mac?!?

thomthom · 2 Mar 2013, 09:19

When you say "opening", what do you mean then? Are you using the Install Extension feature in SketchUp? ( see link in post above )

VfSU doesn't support parallel view. But if you set the SU camera to as near zero degree AOV it's pretty much the same - and that does work.

No. I can't open it in my downloads file .......I open .rb all the time when I'm installing plugins but I can't open .rbx for some reason?

Install RBZ files using the Install Extension feature of SketchUp 8.

I use Firefox not IE which is not installed.
Will re-install and check.
I'll bet that is the problem.

Thx

What browser you use is not relevant. Internet Explorer always exist in some form in Windows.

There is Internet Explorer the engine - webdialogs use it, .CHM help files use it, lots of applications use it in some form. It's an embedded version of IE.

So, regardless of what web browser you use, keep Internet Explorer up to date as there is much more software that makes use of the IE engine.

I had removed/scrubbed IE off my system
IE 10 now installed
Error still persists.
Is there a SU2Vray script that needs to be installed?

Thank you for giving this your attention.

No, only thing that should be needed is this plugins and TT_Lib2. It's a very strange error you're getting. I've never seen it before.
Maybe it's some setting on your computer?

Can you fill out your system info in your profile, please?

System specs attached
SU 8 UPD PRO
I moved all the plugins not for this script to a temp hold folder.
Same error

Thanks again for checking this out.
Please do not make this a big project.
