How's "yes"?

A lot like this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m30eiuIS5a1r95uueo1_500.gif.

Click it. You know you want to.

hi, sorry the non reply was on a deadline, in the end I used a different monitor that had the correct ratio i wanted, not the correct answer but it worked

i'm having the opposite issue, if i apply the material to a plane it renders fine, if i do it to a component or a group then it doesn't shows up in my render...

In response to that old thread:
No, we do not handle the way SketchUp on Mac handles multiple SU instances being open at the same time... it will cause scene corruption, crashes, and other horrible things to happen... You get 1 SketchUp instance only, Thomthom's utility probably won't do any good in this instance at all. Just don't do it. One SU window only on OSX if V-Ray is loaded.

In response to this thread:
I have no idea what that white dialog is, and I am unable to reproduce it so far on my own machine.

there's no benefit that I'm aware of. I believe it's just a bug.

still stuck... can't seem to figure out how to access the material id's on the mesh proxy once its in sketchup

I really appreciate, awesome work. You are a master valerostudio@

thank you.

there are certain controls that are disabled until you have another setting enabled or set to a given value.

crashes in the observers ::begins to weep and walks off to a corner of the room to collect himself:: My suspicion is that the crash is related to setting the scene attribute dictionary

I am one of that... I will apply.

I've attached an Excel file that I use to get a drawing to a scale. Just plug in a few numbers and it will tell you what percentage to scale the image by in order to get the correct scale. You will need a reference dimension to measure, so it is a good idea as suggested above to place a scale bar in the image somewhere.

trying... thank u...

I have a similar issue. Tried to install VRay 1.6 on Mac w SU8 - SU crashed on open every time. Uninstalled everything, created a clean install of SU13, no plugins except VRay 1.6. I can create a new model no problem and it works, but when I try to open one of our SU8 models, I get the warning message about saving in SU13 blablabla and then the never ending spinning color wheel. Have to force quit SU and it happens on every model (tried 4 so far - size range from 25-50MB).

Thats what I do. I map the drive the same letter on both machines. I would highly recommend that you backup the drive either to another external or locally on your home machine. Portable drives are highly unstable. I almost lost a lot of data this past year.

Uninstall and re-install VRay after installing 2013.

Thnx its working now...

I'd love to support per object animation, but I don't know how we are supposed to get the updated transform info, or work with this data at all. Anyone know how it works?

You could also try to use two diffused layers. The back one with the actual concrete texture on it and then cover that with a colored diffused layer with a transparency perhaps. Just a quick thought in my head.

I think my trouble is more with sketchup 2013 than vray. the rendering part is smooth but I had bugsplat after bugsplat in the modeling part. which I think has nothing to do with vray.

It's a gamble for you to install Vray 1.6 on SU 2013. YOu may acquire a license for SU 2013, but keep the vRAY 1.6 beta on your more stable SU like v8.

In my experience, it's the opposite...
I first installed Vray 1.6 on SU8, and got bugsplats over bugsplats while modeling (I guess due to Observers used by RT). So I loaded it only when needed.
Then I moved on to SU2013 and have much less bugsplats.
