Ah ha! Thanks, I'd seen something about the CTRL button while I was searching but I didn't realize it's a toggle.

So I'm trying to use the feature where you can use the tape measure to measure some distance (in my case, it's the thickness of a piece of wood), SU will say the wood is X and then I type in Y" to change the scale of that component so that now X has become Y".

The issue I'm having is that every time I take a measurement in this component, it creates a guideline and then typing in a measurement will only affect the length or position of the guideline. I often have this issue, but taking a measurement from a different area fixes it. Here, though, I can't get the Tape Measure to just measure without creating a guideline.

Ideas?

The Region Render gets stuck either on or off using Vray NEXT. For example, if I turn it on and render a region, then turn Region Render off again and begin rendering the scene, the region render will turn back on. The only workaround I've found so far it so switch from bucket rendering to progressive.

Has anyone else run into this issue? What's your fix?

v4.00.02

The Auto doesn't seem to really work (at least in the scene I'm working on).

Is the ONLY option to use the color picker? You can't set the white balance based off of a color temperature? You can't select a color from your VFB as the basis of the white balance?

Am I missing anything here?

v4.00.02

I'm jumping back into VfSU after taking a pretty long break. One thing I'm noticing is that my SketchUp model all runs fine until I first open up VfSU. From that point on, the model will start hanging at what seems like random times as well as less random times (sometimes adjusting materials and the like). This also continues if I close all of the VfSU dialog boxes. I have to completely restart SU to return to normal behavior.

Does everyone else experience this as well? Any way to help mitigate this?

At the bottom of the material panel are 5 icons. The second one looks like a folder and the Mouse Over text says "Import .vrmat File". Vismats are now known as .vrmats.

I may have found the answer. I closed my Outliner and that seems to have fixed the save time issue.

Doing a bit more testing, it seems that when I open a file it saves very quickly <5 seconds. Once I open the VfSU GUI the save time jumps to several minutes. Closing the UI doesn't change the save time but if I close and reopen the file the save time goes back to <5 seconds (until I reopen the UI again).

Do other people have issues with long save times? I've been testing Vray for SU 3.60.03 with SU 2018. My test scene is 40mb. Generally that size saves pretty quickly for me but this scene which has vray proxies, materials, etc. saves obnoxiously slow. I haven't timed it but it's probably a few minutes or so, sometimes longer. Do others have this issue or know what it relates to?

edit: did a test and timed it saves in just over 4 minutes

I'm using v3.60.02 and I seem to be running into some bugs with the material creation. Sometimes I'll click on the checkered tile to open a map but nothing will happen. Other times I'll be able to open it up but when I change the map it won't change the material preview. Usually when that happens I then can't change the preview scene.

Is anyone else running into this sort of thing?
