      I'm a new sketchup user, thanks in advance for your awesome forum!
      First question is:

      1. is necessary for distribuited rendering in vray to have a lan?
      2. if yes what I have to sharing between macs? documents, application...
      3. Is XMLDRspawner starts automatically when sketchup starts on mac?

      Thank you!

        ok, find answers on my questions:
        1)yes, it's really better to create a network ad-hoc then use network that use normally for internet.
        2) no, I think
        3) yes, it's necassary to activated only on slave machines but remember to activated "distributed render" on both machines,
        Thanks Andalo!

              ok, another solution: when create a lan you have to share material foldelrs and project folder. At the moment I don't know how create an ethernet lan. only wifi. If someone can help me...

                you might try sharing this way:

                -physically connect two macs via ethernet (or firewire or thunderbolt)
                -open a finder window on one of the computers and you should see the other one listed under 'devices' in the finder sidebar
                -click on that then use the 'connect as' button at the top-right of the window.
                -enter the password of the other computer and you should be linked up with access to everything

                  When connecting two computers directly you will need a Cross-Over network cable otherwise you will have to introduce a hub/router.
