hey, grouping and locking has done the trick! thanks!(note to self: read ALL of the posts beforehand)

Thanks Dale, really like the plugin and for simple geometry no problem, but on a more complex model I use zorro2 and it either bugsplats or sketchup simply disappears from my screen

Any modelling errors I should be careful of? It's a model made in skp8 and exported to skp6...any help appreciated.

sorry... reviewing your images and yes they Do have a bit of shadow

Very nice renders, though your postpro office workers have neither shadow nor reflection on the nicely polished floor! The plant looks quite bare and radioactive too...apart from that it's much better than anything I'd ever get to put out.

Any tips on setting up your improv. render farm? is it easy?

It's a tremendous tool for enriching sketchup, must now pay careful attention to all the subtle variations in the toolset...Thankyou fredo!

Fredo, I echo the sentiment of all the grateful users who benefit from your talent and selfless dedication. Many thanks for this!

many thanks for your plugin...brilliant!

many thanks again fredo!

Many thanks Fredo for your elegant plugin.

As a new user to all this, it has worked like a dream! Very useful and easy to incorporate into sketchup...thanks too to the icon-maker! Looks good!
