Perhaps if you explained what the panels are a simple solution may suggest itself.
Are they solar panels, roof tiles, pigeon traps ..... Is the grid raised above the surface.... so many questions?
They are sandwiched roof panels including isolation and with 3d wooden batten for roof tiling.
Hi, How would you create this roof-shape (white one) using the shown components to the left.
And I mean without exploding/intersecting and endlessly erasing lines.
Thanks in advance!

Recently switched workstation and now I also have this exact same problem you described.
New beta doesnt help. Is there a known fix already?

You can put a shadow catcher matte object to generate the shadows. I think there was another discussion somewhere on exactly how to do this. May be a good idea to put a sticky tutorial on this item here on the forum.
I can't find a shadow catching material for v-ray for SU. Do you have a link or something?

Make sure you have texture filtering turned off, or you will be looking at looong render times. (both your alpha of your diffuse and the mask for the reflections.)

Which button controls the texture filtering? Is that the "filter" below "Reflection" under general in the reflection layer? Should this be set to 0?
Hi,
I’m strugling with the new features of the vray 1.6 beta for sketchup.
1.When using a hdri with the dome-light my model is too dark but the background is fine or when I up the intensity the lighting is better but the background sky is washed out/ too bright. Do I need additional GI-sun ? Or do I change my camera ISO-value?
2.When using a hdri with the dome-light I dont get shadows on the hdri-groundplane. How do I do this?
3.With the proxy option I can finally use x-frog trees. But they come with opacity mapped leafs and I cant seem to get a proper reflectionlayer for them. How do I just get reflection on the leaf and not on the rest of the (transparant) leaf geometry? Can I put the alpha somewhere else fort his? Or do I need a specular map somewere?
Answers anyone?
Thanks in advance.
And what should be the effect of these settings?

My tutorial is up on the Chaos site.
Is it in the beta forum? I still dont have acces to that. 
Can you post here please?
You can put section planes in a group. Then it will only cut through the object in the group or component and not the whole model.
I really love this kind of presentation. Is this all photoshop+fotosketcher?
Whats your workflow?
