      I have downloaded sketchup 8, and downloaded SU2POV, and dropped the Su2pov35 folder intact with all its subfolders inside into the plugins folder according to instructions. In the sketchup 8 menu bar I don't see the plugins drop menu just to the left of the help drop menu as is shown in the tutorial's picture. Is that only on sketchup 7 or does it work on 8 as well? If this only works with 7, where would I find a copy of that version?

      I hate to appear so dumb, but I can't figure this out. I feel like I am really missing something very obvious here.

        OK, I figured it out! You have to COPY (or cut) OUT of the Su2pov35 folder everything in it and then paste that into the plugin folder exactly as it was in the Su2pov35 folder.

        NOT just drop the entire Su2pov folder into the plugin folder, ONLY the contents.

        I bet it must be quite tedious to hear that question a lot.

          I am having a problem with SU2Pov 3.5 plugin (using SU 8 pro with XP). It is loaded and all works except none of the windows from the tool bar close when I click OK or Cancel, therefore not generating any commands. To close the window I have to click the X in the upper right hand corner. After doing that a light will be placed in the scene for example, but is not active in the ".pov" file. Also, the scene is sent to POV when the Render button is clicked. The scene does render but is without lights or any other features, only renders the default SU settings. Any ideas? Could it be my computer?

          Many thanks for your plugin and any suggestions you may have.

              Hi artfreak,
              Weird. Mine works like a charm. Please open the ruby console, run su2pov and copy-paste the entire error message please (so I can see at what line the "split" crashes. Thanks.

                Here is the results from the Ruby Console.

                Run su2pov

                  @artfreak,

                  By "run su2pov" I was meaning "click on the render icon".
                  Sorry it was not clear, please try again. Thank you.

                    Didier,

                    Do I understand the 3.6 does not work for on Mac and since there is no Beta version 3.7 its no go so far?

                    I get this message:"You can’t open the application “POV-Ray Mac 3.6” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

                    Thanks with hope there is a light.

                          voila j'ai mis les fichiers au bon endroits mais une erreur surviens

                          from message 000_AdditionalPluginFolders

                          Erreur : undefined local variable or method 'ocr_env' for main:Object
                          ok j'ai enlever tout les plugins puis reinstaller supov35 et ça fonctionne a part que ça me met une erreur

                          povray errors occurred when renaming your textures files probably because

                          No such files or directory c:/user/.../.../povray

                              Je ne sais si un autre renderer OS ou gratuit pour SU existe, mais pour ceux qui ont POV 3.7, il faut changer un peu povray.ini et rajouter :
                              version = 3.6
                              ça permet, par exemple, de retrouver la couche alpha (transparent). Il faudrait un MAJ de su2pov pour intégrer la version ça va devenir obligatoire dans le futur de POV.

                                il y faut enlever la ligne interpolate dans les .pov pour que le rendu se fasse :
                                texture {
                                uv_mapping pigment {
                                image_map {
                                jpeg "drifting_planes.jpg"
                                map_type 0
                                interpolate 0

                                    Thank you for all your efforts on POVray.
                                    I am still waiting for the nest release with more control on materials, maybe like the previous version please. 😄

                                      Hello,

                                      i tried to start with POV-Ray with SU2POV 3.5 and Sketchup 2015. I installed in into ... Appdata/Roaming/Sketchup/Sketchup2015/Sketchup/Plugins.
                                      There is now a

                                      • su2pov folder with another rbs data and other stuff

                                      When i start Sketchup i get the following:

                                      I am not sure if anything comes from SU2POV, because some crap comes from SU-Podium V2, but i wasn't able to deinstall and delete it, it came back again.

                                      I couldn't find a newer Version of SU2POV and i am also not sure if both are compatible (SU2POV35 + Sketchup 2015).

                                      It would be nice, if you could help me. Thanks!

                                        I have used SU2POV for quite awhile with SU8. It has been my favorite rendering exporter. Recently I bit the bullet and updated SU to 2015.

                                        I also am trying to successfully run SU2POV 3.5 on SU2015. The installation was "successful", although when I restart sketchup I also receive these errors:

                                        Error: c:/users/brian/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2015/sketchup/plugins/su2pov35.rbs:859: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)

                                        Any help with a fix for this would be GREATLY appreciated.
