one more thing about the Vignette. I am finding that, even without closing Sketchup, the Vignette jumps back over to the second screen (monitor). This doesnt happen all the time - just happens sometimes / occasionally. I will open a different drawing from Sketchup and the vignette moves back to where it was at startup

Great extension. I wonder if it is possible to make a custom made toolbar fly out? Would save getting in the way when you have it in the work area.

that is exactly what the vignette gives you

OK so i realise now that there is a switch to "Exclude" vray from the options, so i turned that off and it solved my problem. Amazing ! The only thing i really would appreciate would be to have control over where the vignette appears every time i start sketchup. Currently, i have to move it from Screen 2 onto Screen 1 every time

You may have to restart Sketchup twice after installation of LOTT. The reason is that VRay installs in a special directory and arranges that its toolbars are not really accessible by program.[/quote]

Could you say a little more about this - i mean i have restarted Sketchup many times since installing LOTT. Should i uninstall LOTT, and then reinstall LOTT and then quite and start Sketchup twice, and then Bobs your Uncle ? thx
(Any news on the ability to make the vignette stay in position on the monitor where i want it ?)

Does anyone know of a way to add the VRAY commands to a toolbar in LOTTB ? I'm using 1.5a & vray 5.10.06 in Sketchup pro 2021 v.21.1.299. VRAY is does not appear anywhere as an option for adding to LOTTB

Hello - I was referring to the vignette bar (pic attached / didnt realise what it was called before . I am trying to keep this above the main toolbar space so it doesnt take up any screen space. BUT, every time i launch sketchup i have to move it back to where i want it. Is there a way to make this stay in position ? For VRAY, i am using 5.10.06. It does'nt make any difference where i position it on the screen, it always reverts back to the same place on my second monitor (which is not where i need it). I tried the option to lock it in position, but it makes no difference in my case.
thanks for looking into it !

Great plugin. Only trouble i have is that it never remembers the location of the toolbar. Every time i open sketchup i have to move the toolbar to the location that i want.
Also, it does not seem to recognise Vray.

What do you mean by 'toolbar'?

• favorite palette?

• Sketchup regular toolbar?

For VRay, which version do you have?

This is a great idea - the tool looks really intuitive ! Keep up the good work

I purchased FredoStudio because i would like to copy cameras from one model to another model - but its not working.
I think the problem is that Vray "safe frame" is enabled and that Fredo Portrait is not compatible with vray safe frame being turned on ?
I tried turning off safeframe, and the result is much better - but the perspectives are not identical when you copy across. Is this a known problem ?

OK - I am not yet a user of RichSection (I fell in with the other offering out there - and am having problems with it). From what I can gather, it sounds like if my model is all textured with materials (because I am also using the same model to produce realistic renderings) then the section drawings are going to be rendered with those textures & colours - except you have control only over the fill patterns that are applied where the section cuts any objects - so they are not going to be black & white architectural drawings. You would have to remove all those textures / colours from the model ?
