      Hi Samuel,

      It's great to know and get this PBR extension.
      I believe it is extremely useful for most modelers.
      I'm very new to PBR and would like to explore more on it.
      Please advise if this plugin is compatible and stable for Sketchup Pro 2019?
      Any other plugin needed as supporting tools?
      Thank you.

                                      First, sorry for this late reply:

                                      This plugin is compatible with SketchUp 2017-2021 for Windows and should be compatible with SketchUp 2017-2021 for macOS.

                                      If this plugin crashes when you export model as glTF file, you can try to in order:

                                      1. Open "Window > Ruby Console".
                                      2. Copy-paste below code:
                                      PBR;;GlTF.export
                                      
                                      1. Press enter to execute above code.
                                      2. Send me a screenshot.

                                          Hi. From a month, more or less, I got a popup when SU starts that said something about a newer version 4.2.6 from this plugin and opens this SketchUcation page when message accepted. But I see no news here about newer releases of this plugin. Does anybody here tell me what's wrong?
