Another Autocad command to try is 'EXPORTTOAUTOCAD' this might remove any hidden proxys

Can’t help but suspect the overhaul of the UI & wanted features will come, but will only be introduced after the subscription model is in full effect.

Seeing where SketchUp Classic pricing is located on there web page, like Autodesk, I think the permanent license will eventually be phased out.

The new update for V-Ray 3.60.03 seems to be causing Laubwerk materials to render black,
other people have posted about this issue on the Chaos Group forums, not sure if this is a issued that have to be fixed on Lauberks end or Chaos, but it's currently making it impossible to finish up some of my renders.

July 28

Philip of Laubwerk has been working the Chaos Group and they have silently rolled out a hotfix replacing the current version 3.60.03 that now has the fix for the materials rendering black incorporated into it.

I've tested this and confirm the hotfix has resolved this issue

As of July 28, Chaos Group created a fix which is now included in update 3.60.03, all future downloads include this fix.

Seeing this old thread reminded me of a couple renders I had
done last August, but haven't posted.
The rendering where done in Maxwell Render Suite Ver 2.7
the sample levels for both images where around 13.0 with a
rendering time of hour and forty minutes and a benchmark of 146

To get grass to show up in your renders, for the standalone plugin, you will need to start Maxwell Fire & go to Engine Settings and set Extensions to Enabled.

Ran into the same issue after installing, tried going back to a earlier version of Silverlight but to no avail.
But now there is a update to Maxwell Render, appears they have moved away from Silverlight & now supports Sketchup 2013.

Here is the link to the Maxwell's website

Here is a render created in Shaderlight 2.3.1, rendering took 2.75 hours
at a quality setting of 8. Used HDR for the lighting & background.
