@optimaforever said: Ok, sorry. I must be more explicit. I meant that the thumbnails help if they're be big enough (sometimes there are a lot of variants and it's difficult to distinguish betwern them). We'll see what we can do about the size of the thumbnails, and also how to optimize the interface to have more thumbnails and less wasted space. @optimaforever said: If one could define the snapshot it's even nicer as you can focus on the differences but one could imagine a folder hierarchy system too. Not sure if we can define the snapshot, we'll look into it. Folder hierarchy is a nice idea. we'll see if we can fit that in at a later time.

I would affirm the request. When looking at the component attributes, how is does one know what A), B), etc. refer to. A great plugin, but some tutorials would be helpful. Thanks.

Try the "frame guide" setting. Does that help?

It's sticky be default, in order to give you nice flat icons in the favorites window. (I know that may sound rediculous ) If you have the 90* rotator on (in the manager window) it won't be sticky. That will be a bit difficult right now. Best if you recreate your presets/favorites.

Ok. Indeed problem solved. thanks!

Hi, Try changing the IOR on the refraction layer to 1.00 or 1.05.

I think I have an old license but that is not the issue. I don't want to install it if I am not going to use it just to be able to use that function.

Hi, You might be using some of the unsupported features. Check this for: Supported Features in Interactive Rendering (RT)

thanks I tried that and it works But the older method was way easier, dont know why they changed it.

might hasten up development of CORONA for sketchup which is positive thing...

Fixed the wall thickness issue! Please see the post on the main thread:

@mudo said: You can try this, it's a start to you make some changes and get the results you want, hope it's help. Thanks Brother for your help. Your recommendation solves the problem.But I am still could not understand why vray gives 2 different type of output.Why GPU accelerated rendering is different than CPU. Sorry for the late reply. Cheers.

@luvanimation said: Hi, is it possible to export the environment to pdf as well in Simlab Composer 8, if yes then how can i do it?? To create a 3D PDF, click on File>3D PDF>Export or Settings [image: CkPT_Export3DPDF.png] You might also want to watch this video: https://youtu.be/X7V4XX4D9iI Hope this helps you.

Animator plugin is recently updated and working with Vray, maybe you should give it a try?

We are currently working of a series of new tutorials, hopefully we'll be able to include that as well. Yes, you can create container nodes that can group multiple nodes into one: https://www.fluidinteractive.com/products/sketchup-extensions/viz/help/containers/

As you can see from these topics, you are not alone: Exporting Material Textures From 3D Warehouse Models and Some questions about texture path. Apart from advices in those topics, i suggest you to do these: 1- Right click a material and choose 'add to model' (Under your 'Default Tray'). 2- You'll notice in your V-ray Asset editor, there is a new material added with similar name and properly previewed. This new material will work in your renders. (You'll also notice that diffuse path still seems broken but who cares ) 3- Apply your new materials Note: to replace new material with old ones in the scene; left click & right click to old material from Asset Editor and choose "Select Objects in Scene". Then left click & right click to your new material and choose "Apply Material to Selection". You might still need some manual adjustments because that author didn't apply materials well enough.

I use Simsolid, You export your model as an STL file. upload it into simsolid and go to town. You can try it out for free for like 30 days. But the program is kinda pricey. You also have to be super careful with your Sketchup model. All groups and components must be clean and show a volume in your entity info tray. I use solid inspector to help double check.
