    • Can you scale Sketchbook elements to different paper sizes?

      The issue I'm running into is that drafting in Arch D, all of the scrapbook items come out much smaller than would ever be useful on such a size of paper. See example here - https://imgur.com/a/HLs56LI

      Is there a way to pre-set them to a size appropriate to Arch D? As scaling them keeps the text like a 4pt text.

    • Specific items rendering black.

      Hey! I'm having issues with VRay.
      I'm on VRay 3.6 using Sketchup 2018 on Mac OSX.

      VRay keeps rejecting/denying materials to be rendered, for whatever reason.

      Same model, same materials between 3.4 and 3.6 seems to refuse to render. In the materials viewport, it shows the materials as black. Any ideas why? attached will bet an example.

      The one with lots of black is 3.6, the other is 3.4. 3.4 vs 3.6.

      You can see in both versions that they have very dark spots (3.4 seems like it's under-exposed on textures, 3.6 the textures are just not there almost).

      I had this problem before, and fixed it by replacing the materials entirely. This is something I don't want to have to do again, especially since it seems like the problem is VRay rejecting it.

      This is an example. There are multiple materials like this. https://i.imgur.com/uAZgvEK.png

      I used all of these textures in a previous model under Vray 2.x, and they rendered fine. Reusing them in VRay 3.X is the first time they've had issues.

      One big thing to note - I've been trying to get this to work between Sketchup 2017 and Sketchup 2018 (3.4 and 3.6 as well) and I noticed one thing - 3.6 lost MORE materials, turning them to black.

      The problem does NOT seem to be solved by "reverse faces".

      If preferable, I can upload my model, I'm trying to re-render these scenes for my portfolio.
      Thanks!
