I cried a single tear when this came out, Thank you so much you guys! its perfect!

tomasz

Thank you! I am glad you find it useful.

I have forgotten about one small but useful feature:

Importing KT materials works with selection. It will limit SU materials and allow you to attach KT mat only to those present in selection. It is a remedy when list of SU mats is too long.

Hello Tomazc. haven't tried it yet but the potential to master it is delicious in itself. Plus, thanks for giving something that could level the field between high tech arm twisting intuitive, joyful design communication.

Your life will be one of eternal good karma.

Once the zip file is downloaded, where is it unzipped to?
I notice it contains the .rb for the plugin folder, the .skp lights which I have from the previous version (unless they have changed) and some images.
Am I correct in thinking this version has a toolbar in SU?

Gaieus

Yes you are right; it does actually have a toolbar. Unzip everything under the Plugins folder. The toolbar images should be in a su2kt subfolder. Are they in this subfolder within the zip file?

eeva

dylan, why don't you use the installer? it extracts the files in the right folders. just remember to delete the old exporter.

not only does it have a toolbar, after exporting, it asks you, if you want to open the file in kerkythea...
