Thanks Rob, nice tip!

Thanks Andybot...that's where I was afraid of...mmm...It's a solution, but don't you see shadows when you render close-ups?

Dear Sketch-Uppers,

SketchUp is my favorite modelling tool for years now and I'll definitely stick to it. But rendering I do with C4d, which is great as well, but exporting from SketchUp to C4d cost me to much time before I get everything right(phong angles etc etc).
Therefore I was wondering if I can better use Vray over C4d? I've checked some tutorials and installed the demo, but I really miss the possibility of decal mapping and stacked material mapping. I know that you can use alpha channels, but then the applied object becomes transparent and I lose the overview in Sketchup(it becomes a mess). In C4d I can apply different materials and they are "stacked" on the object. For instance, a wooden wall, and sticked on it there are separate materials containing different textures. For me, as an exhibition designer, this is most essential!! Isn't this possible in VRay? Should I stick to C4d? Please advice! Thanks!

If Trimble take us, users, seriously...they make complex object handling faster....much much much faster....

Man...I didn't know MOI....I've been playing around with it and this is what SketchUp should have been....

...Thanks for all the replies! I guess I'll stick to my Intel!

Hi S'uppers!

Does anyone know whether an AMD processor is much faster than an Intel when it's used for SketchUp? This because of the fact that SU rely on one core, the processor speed should be as high as possible. Any experience?

One of the best plugins for Sketchup in years!!

Hahaha! Okay! I'll wait patiently for a brilliant moment! !

Thanks Fredo....it's a pity...But thanks nevertheless!

Hi Pilou,

You actually don't need the plugin anyway. But that's not the issue. I only noticed that snapping to other objects, while in a group, is not possible...while it is possible when you ungroup the object. I would like to know if it is me being stupid...or that I have to switch between the "original" move function and MoveAlong(which I prefer in MOST cases).

I've a problem...I checked all your instruction movies, but can't find a solution. When I want to move lines or faces in one active group I cannot snap or interfere with objects outside the active group. Am I missing something?? I installed the latest version...

Thanks in advance....

YES it Works! Now I've the 'Immense' toolbar! Thanks again!!!!

I AM! Yes! Uhmm..but one question, I've installed the plugin but I don't get the extended toolbar like you..I still have the normal 5 icons..is this correct?
Thank you!

Sorry, will try it! Thanks!

It's such a brilliant plugin! I love these kind of "modifiers"...superb...Thanks again!

Oh no TIG, then you misunderstood me...I was actually very glad with your analysis ..But I did what you wrote down and it still gave an error message(only deleting the cn version). I just removed the plugin, installed it again, removed the CN file...and again the error. Maybe my 'cocktail' of plugins doesn't match with this particular one!
Well please don't spend to much time on this as I'm, I guess, the only one with this problem...Thanks Tig!

mmm...okay...I'll analyse TIG's "essay" thoroughly again, en then I'm going to test it...Thanks!!!

Thanks Dave. Uhm yep, via Extension Warehouse and later(after getting the Error)via the "install extensions" option in the preferences...mmm...still the same error.

As an design office we've switched entirely to pc's. This is because of the and "stability". They say Macs don't have hang-ups or hardware issues? Well don't come to me with that...I've also been a Mac user since 25 years, but they are so much focusing on what the main stream wants. And then there's the flexibility of hardware, we change hardware now and then and gives us the opportunity to test setups with rendering...and that changes things! We saw that our "old" MacPro's(dual Xeon, don't get me wrong) were sooooo much slower then our new pc's(single core, but with two GTX780i's)...it really safes us hours! And, I actually must say I prefer Windows8 then OSX....sorry...So coming back to your question; The new MacPro is a beast and not even that expensive, but I would spent my money on a pc and get used to Windows...and actually there isn't so much difference...
