Some versions of speed fan have issues reading correct core temp. But if those are correct, then you better reinstall CPU cooler (so that you sure it do have a good contact) and enhance cooling. For cooling, you can find great tips from http://www.silentpcreview.com/ Here is a good alternatives for speed fan http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ and http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/

@ledisnomad said: First, does VRay support SketchUp section cuts? I'm thinking not VfSU does not support section cuts. @ledisnomad said: I'm thinking not, since my SU is frozen trying to render one. Should not do this however. @ledisnomad said: Second, how do people render section cuts? Do you physically cut your model? That's distructive and time-consuming with a very complex model. Any other ways? Yes, you must make a copy of your model and slice it up. There are some plugins you can use for this if you look in the plugins section.

Using animation for batch export is a useful trick. Notice that often (always?) you end up with a duplicate of the last image. Also, there is a bit of a technical (not really technical, more like bery unlikely you'll come across it) bug in the way shadows update from scene to scene. If you have geometry that hides and shows from one scene to the next and your scenes don't have shadow information turned on, but you have shadows themselves turned on, then the shadows won't update correctly. If you think you might be in that category, I can explain better and I have a little model that shows how it works (or rather, how to see the bug in action). But batch export is great and a huge timesaver! Oh and also, you can set your fps and time per scene to whatever is easiest for your brain. So the example given above is great. I tend to set 1 second per scene and then 1fps. Chris
