      No idea, the licensing of some apps is related to lag and response time from the forum but that IS related to internet rather than Sketchucation issues. The bundle this is dealt with by installing the apps separately, possible account issues? The issue with material libraries not being present has gone now and I can cross pollinate libraries so I can have the basics from 2024 in 2026. Jobbed.

      A rancher dies and leaves everything to his wife. She was a very good-looking woman and determined to keep the ranch, but knew very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand. Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk. He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing very well. Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand, "You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels." The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night. One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock and no hired hand. Finally he returned a round two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him. She quietly called him over to her.. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed. "Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly.. "Now take off my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots. "Now take off my skirt." He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the fire light. "Now take off my bra.." Again, with trembling hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor. Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired."

      I can see better take up than the needle versions. Schools might be needing a low/no alcohol version though.

      @pixelcruncher said: Hey Mike, I'm sorry to hear you're running into these issues with Rayscaper. Would you mind sending me this scene so I can have a look? Summarizing your woes: Auto-exposure is behaving strangely. Mike, I'm still not sure what you mean by this. ************Auto exposure doing funky things is a fraction where the interior and exterior are mismatched. The exterior tends towards overexposure when the interior is properly or slightly underexposed**********.** Geometry does not appear in the renders. Sometimes geometry just fails to export to Rayscaper, that or it is deleted. Restart can fix this sometimes. Viewport shows CPU, while you have enabled GPU rendering. Simples, Sometimes the render window shows CPU rendering with my selecting it. Rendering fails. Mostly when the CPU method is self appointed, nothing in the render window at all. I think it's easier if you send me the scene and, preferably, the logs when such a render failure occurs (https://www.rayscaper.com/getting-help/report-a-bug/#1-export-the-log-files), so I can try to reproduce/fix these problems. Thanks, Thomas

      One more go tonight. I had Sketchup close with Rayscaper when I closed Rayscaper which is not the first time. I still need to adapt a few things, perhaps change the render view. G'night folks, stay safe out there.[image: 1769333169326-4-1024s-1994-x-1171-6136469ri-2m-52s-gpu-resized.png]

      ATM, there are two windows both on the west (Right) of this render. You may see on. Seeing as I do not 'do' window ledges, the window openings are not readily apparent. There is a logic to this. I frankly got fed up to my molars with females mostly, putting ornaments or flowers on ANY flat surface. I like to be able to open windows without relocating tat every time. I know, fully paid up member of the annoyed ol' git fraternity/club. I am looking at a method to introduce my favourite natural light system here, the sun/solar tube. I shall have to see how effective it will be.
