      This tool is essential for those who send files with repetitive components to 3ds max.
      Unfortunatly only after removing this tool I solved the "grey out menus" problem. Is there any chance to update it?

        Have you updated your FredoLib files? I think most the issues lied within that library, not in the individual plugins. (with an odd exception)

          Yes I used latest lib pack (not 100% sure). Today I'll try it once more

            Fredo

            I've found a glitch with the code in 'GhostCompAlgo.rb'

            def onActivePathChanged(*args)
            	path = Sketchup.active_model.active_path
            	return unless path
            	comp = path.last
                return unless comp.valid? ###<<<
            	return unless is_ghost?(comp)
            	ask_confirmation comp
            end
            

            If you don't include the extra line I've indicated with ###<<< then you get weird errors in the Ruby Console if you have been editing and then deleting Components... This simple fix ignores recently deleted components etc so no errors...

                  Hello,

                  I have used ghost plug in to make proxy out of original object..
                  I have kept object in proxy format and exported it to kerkythea.
                  When i render it in kerkythea proxy object rendered without material why so?? Do we have convert the back to original form before exporting it into kerkythea every time??

                  Also i have some issues regarding camera in kerkythea. i have placed 3 cameras in the scene and have exported to kerkythea, but whenever i open the scene, i could not find the camera on the same location i have placed it? is it any kind of bug in kerkythea?? or there is some problem in my SU and kerkythea or somthing else?? ple help

                  Regards,
                  MANDAR

                    Yes, I am afraid you do. Ghost Components plugin can only solve performance issues in SU but it would not work as a proxy plugin for exporters. Certainly it could be modified somewhat (and/or the exporter plugin could accommodate) but for that, the two, different authors of the plugins should co-operate on one that works this way.

                    But then all the other renderers could ask the same.

                    Gai...

                          Wow! What a great plugin... 😍 😍 😍 😍

                          I can not thank you enough to make this possible on sketchup... Where have I been so far to miss this wonderful plugin. SU Team surely should incorporate this in SU native version. I believe they will put this in the new Trimble Sketchup... Great work Fredo!!! and thanks once again....

                            Thanks for this! IΒ΄ve only had a short test/peek/session w this RB. It seems super useful!

                            I had one problem, though: I saved the model when in ghost mode and closed the program. When I opened the same model later I couldnΒ΄t reset the geometry to the complex form. I just saw the ghost. Have anyone else had similar experiences?

                              Fredo,I just wondered would this dirty trick http://72.27.230.245/3ds-max/scripts/renderlayers-0 be possible in SU8?

                                  Have you activated its Extension from within Preferences.
                                  You might also then need to activate its Toolbar...

                                          In your list there's 'GhostComp%201' what's that ?
                                          Looks like an html based name ?
                                          There ought to be a folder called 'GHOSTCOMP_Dir_10'
                                          containing these files Capture.PNG This suggests you has mis-installed it...

                                            Dunno what that was but removing it sorted it, didn't even need to turn the extension on. Thanks TIG
