Just got this PLugin today... and it may be my favorite ever!!! I'm always struggling to find good trees when I'm modeling landscapes.

Can I turn the grass proxy on and off?

If the grass is turned on proxy will it render in photo-realistic renderers?

Every time I copy a dynamic component it makes itself unique... I want it to stop! ... I only want it to be unique if I say: "Make unique"

Is this possible to change?... if so where is such an option?

Okay, so... I have a pretty sizable building I'm working on. It's residential, it probably has around 250 double hung windows. I'm using a generic dynamic component for these windows.

The problem I having is with color. The DC offers 3 choices brown,wood, or white... I need to use a different color. Which isn't super hard. I figure I'll change one and it will apply to all of them... after all, they are all the same component right? No. I can change one but the changes don't automatically apply even when I copy one over the color changes back.

And then, to top it off- I I explode the component, then change the color it wont copy at all... it just disappears.

What can I do to easily change all the window's colors... am I missing something?

Please help.

I'm working with sketchup 8 the free version and the full license for the maxwell render plugin.

I just finished the schematic model for a whole apartment building. I used dynamic components for the windows... but not for curtain walls. When I go to render a scene the Windows (dynamic components) don't show up... I haven't even got a clue what's going on or how to fix it. Please help.

Please say I don't have to explode all my groups and components this model is soo well organized and I don't want to ruin it's edit-ability.
