      Nothing comes up on the Ruby console. No errors or other messages.

      I'm on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate edition.

      Despite of the not changing field, the aspect of the viewport seems to be changed. I can get the ratio correctly on the "Output" tab of V-Ray. I tried rendering with just the aspect ratio of the Output matching the SU's (left the Zoom field of V-Ray unaltered: 1.00 ) and it kinda worked as expected.

      Maybe we don't need to mess with the zoom anymore? Can you confirm that, Thom?

        Yes, with the newer VfS it's no longer needed to set the zoom. It'll all be clearer when I release version 2.0.

            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.

                      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.

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

                                          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?
