Can someone post the .9.6.4 build please, da nada here.

OK, hover the cursor over the sketchup icon on the task bar, right click on the Rayscaper window and maximise. The render window will not open elsewise.

Running the .69 build. EVERY new model loaded will require the steps above. right click on the render window on the task bar and select maximise. When this is done once per new model, session, each new start of Rayscaper will occur as per normal.

Hey folks,
Sorry for the late replies. It was a bad weekend to go on a trip.
— I assumed that the build I posted fixed the crash just before I left. Will post an updated build here ASAP.@pixelcruncher any update on when the material inheritance is going to be fixed?
Will try to do that in the release after this one. The next one will be a hotfix for the crashes users encountered.
Need a revert version button.
Agreed, but it's not that simple to do with a SketchUp extension. I will make downloads of older releases available on the Rayscaper website. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the workaround. I will fix it.

Thanks PixC. Good luck

I never doubted you would. My first thought was the Diffusion update seeing as that was the last thing to happen prior to the issue presenting.
Conflict with Diffusion?

Just so you know Mr Cruncher, Sir.
When you get the chance to get away from the rat race, ANY weekend is a good time to do so. You Sir, are worth it. In a very poor paraphrasing of the advertisement.

@pixelcruncher thank you

Hey, Rayscaper users!
Rayscaper 0.9.72 Beta is available. You can get it via the SketchUcation store.
I recommend upgrading to the latest version.
What Changed?
- Rayscaper now supports direct integration with the Skatter plugin. Render-only Skatter data can now be ingested directly from Skatter, bypassing the
SketchUp viewport. This offloads complex instancing and geometry handling to Rayscaper, keeping SketchUp responsive and lightweight during rendering.
Perfect for large vegetation or scattering setups — just hit render and let Rayscaper handle the heavy lifting. (@ntxdave Thanks for connecting me with the Skatter people). - Bugfix: push/pull geometry would not properly propagate to Rayscaper.
- Fix Rayscaper for SketchUp 2024, caused by a breaking change in the SketchUp SDK. Note: Going forward, Rayscaper will only support the latest three
SketchUp releases because now that it's for sure that the SDK is not backwards compatible, it's too much overhead for me to maintain more versions. The
current version supports: SketchUp 2026, SketchUp 2025 & SketchUp 2024. - Make materials assigned to a SketchUp group or component instance work again. cc: @sashapepperspray
Here's a screenshot of a simple forest I created using Skatter:

Hello, Pixelcruncher,
I'have installed RS 9.6.9
I'm testing it. When I hide a SU tag it stays visible. The only way seems to Hide a group so that it will not be visible. So: we can't use Hide/reveal Tags?Visibility should work with tags and tag folders. Maybe you hit a bug, can you provide me with a screen recording, or a scene where I can reproduce this behavior?

Hi,
I just installed version 9.7.0. I'm testing with a new file, a cube that I place on a "cube" tag.
If I hide the cube tag, Sketchup crashes. -
if i open an existing model and launch Rayscaper and reveal a hidden tag sketchup crashes
-
It has trouble updating the display if I add geometry. I have to restart Rayscaper. but it is a rather heavy model. It also seems to work well in this version.

Hey @Krass
I'm not following your workflow. What do you mean by placing on a "cube" tag? Do you create the cube and then tag it or do something else first? Would be great if you could send me a quick screen recording or some screenshots of your workflow.
Cheers,
Thomas -
@Krass Can you e-mail or DM me this scene so I can have a look? Thanks!

I just sent you an email
