    • RE: I know what I did this summer...

      It’s really hard when there is little to no resources specifically for the SketchUp version. Still I really like this version; they really put a lot into it.

      Below is revised image from version 2 of V ray I did a few years ago this time with V ray fur for the rug instead of displacement. Render time went from over 40 minutes to just over 12 minutes.

      Spent some time this summer trying to learn to work V Ray Next and enjoyed playing with it as well. Most of the models are from the warehouse.

    • Vray problem

      I’ve had issues with SketchUp and V Ray that I hope someone can help solve. For long time I thought it was my computer or SketchUp, specifically V2018. I would notice that when I saved my files they became sluggish, slow and I would have long save times. Outliner flashes and seems to cycle through each item on the list and depending on the size of the file would take several minutes to save.

      Long story short after dumping my entire computers programs and starting from scratch. I loading SketchUp 2018 and adding my plug-ins one by one and test after each one with a test file i have been using since i started having this problem.

      I found that the problem is V Ray 3. Before I pick the render button I am fine, as soon as I pick render and try to save I have the problem. Is there a solution to this problem or how I might solve it?

    • RE: How to draw a straight line with precise length

      I must be doing something wrong some of the time. I am old school cad. I keep wanting to pick it and start the move, then type the distant. I am just picking the object and typing the new length, this works some time and other times, not.

      is this written down somewhere where i can read how this works or is it on the layout help sites?

    • RE: How to draw a straight line with precise length

      Nice to know,
      But if I have a scrapbook Item and want to move it precisely (let’s say an 1” or 1/8”) can I do that?
      When I type a dimension I get the invalid string message.

    • RE: SketchUp 2018 Video Card

      Dave R,
      Thank you for the clarification of the “-0” file. This has been a new issues for me since moving to 2018 version. I hope they fix it soon its annoying, so I need to now throw out the original file and remove the “-0” file to get back the original name?

      Its like the message “Not responding” instead of something like “this program is work on it’” and seeing a little hour glass spin around and round on my screen…that way I know it’s doing something other than crashing.

      sketch3d.de,
      You are right, this should have been a new thread.
      I’m just frustrated that I can’t install what I have purchased and have it work,( like it use to be) without having to figure out that things have changed and I should just know about them, like picking running as an administrator (when did that happen?). But that another topic too.

      sorry just venting...

    • RE: Texture question

      In this second set of images I am using the select and apply drop down in V Ray to copying the material from the right to the pillow on the left. I don’t know why size/scale changed differently. I checked and changed both the SketchUp and V Ray U/V sizes and they both change sizes up or down accordingly. With this being curve surfaces I do not have access to the texture drop down menu.

    • RE: Texture question

      After I post this the program crashed and of course I did not save it and so far I cannot recreate it. But I am summing you mean to check the texture U/V area?
