What are the advantages of Mac over windows??

I've copied paste libfredo6 in my plugins folder...Can the following folders be safely deleted....??

LIBFREDO6_Dir_34

LIBFREDO6_Dir_35

yes....i also tried at my home pc..it worked fine...i was working at my groupmate's place on his pc when i posted this question..there i wasn't able to do so I haven't downloaded this version yet...i.e. the 8th jan 2011 version...

component spray doesn't allow spraying while editing inside a group..how can i do that...??...i have to copy paste the sprayed components inside the group separately...

Thanks Daniel...I'm finally able to make the ramp .. But for selecting the linear edges along one axis for welding is there a faster way rather than selecting them one by one??

I had the recent versions. I just checked the way you told. But I overwrote the files with freshly downloaded ones anyway. Eventually I was able to make the ramp that you made. That file had another ramp too. I can't make that one.. I've made a new file of that ramp and a video of what exactly happens. Please check and tell me what to do.

I'm trying to make a ramp using curvishear and curviloft but not getting the desired result. I've attached a video of what exactly happens during the process

@dave r said:

Is this what you want as a result?

yes i want a ramp like this only..is the edge on the end coming out to be 3.4 metres in height??

Hello everyone..
I'm using Google SketchUp Pro 8 . I am unable to make a ramp using shape bender that is 34 metres long and has 1:10 slope. The Shape Bender doesn't bend the ramp as expected. I've attached a video and a model of the ramp.

TIG...I've uploaded images to clear my question

Is it possible to delete in one go the original linear path used for lattice making??

@thomthom said:

There are some plugins that needed updating for SU8

can you list them please??

One of the easiest ways to make one is ...first build a straight ramp with the required slope then use Chris Fullmer's shape bender plugin to bend it along a path...

The latest public release is 1.48.89 - you get it at ASGVis' site when you go to Support > V-Ray for SketchUp

I have 1.48.66...if i download a 30 day trial of 1.48.89 from ASGVIS website...will I get a free upgrade then??

@thomthom said:

It's out of date. The developers site (ASGVis's) is the source you should be looking at.

then which version is the current one...and why would they go back to 1.44.xx from 1.48.66??

@thomthom said:

1.44.66 is an old version. Latest public version is 1.44.89 - it contains many critical bug fixes.

I'm not sure 1.44.xx comes with vismats. Think you have to get them from the forum now.

here Vray for sketchup

the website mentions ...the latest one is 01.48.83.
