Any more ideas?

How are you bringing in your old plugins for 2014? When I went to 2015 I had to fresh install everything. No copy and pasting from the Plugins folder, that was too messy. Fresh install every plugin from the Extension Warehouse and the SketchUcation toolbar. Its painful at first but a good clean way to start with 2015.

valerostudio, what you say is right.

CPU clockspeed plays a role, SU doesn't really gain with workstation class GFX cards, SU isn't optimized that way

I have noted that this is the same with 3DS Max as well. The view ports are faster on the laptop.

I have attached 2 configurations below. One is of a laptop and the other is for a workstation.

Workstation Graphic Card: NVIDIA Quadro K5000 x2
Laptop Graphic Card: IntelHD Graphics 4600 and NVIDIA Quadro K5100M

My question is, How come the viewport for sketchup is faster and smoother on the laptop when compared to the workstation?

Hi Ted,

I have discovered that this problem is arising only after the computers are added to our company domain. We have a new IT guy and I think the method/steps he is using to do this is causing the problem. Does that make any sense?

You may have installed the 32 bit version where you needed to install the 64 bit version or vice versa.

you mean I might have not installed 64 bit vray? or is there a 64 bit A2 toolbar? I couldnt find anything like that.

I am sure I have installed 64 bit vray

Yeah, I contacted them. They say that the cant recreate the issue I am talking about. So what happens when they say they cant recreate the bugsplat?

Anybody have any idea of whats going on?

I have been running into the same issue. sketchup doesnt crash when you hit ctrl+s. It bugsplats when you go to 'save as', or try to change material in vray material editor.

Win 7 64 bit.

I have tested this on 3 different computers now. Using a different copy of sketchup and vray every time. No success. I even tried going back to older versions of skp15.

Whats going on?

Yelp!

Hello everyone,

So I just found out about the A2 extension toolbar thing and installed it. It installed fine but started getting this error:
%(#FF0000)[Error Loading File vfs.rb
Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant WinFunc>
C:/ProgramData/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/vfs.rb:97:in ensure in <top (required)>' C:/ProgramData/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/vfs.rb:97:in <top (required)>']

I tried thomthom's suggestion of changing vfs.rb to

%(#0040FF)[puts "vfs.rb loaded"

require 'sketchup.rb'
require 'extensions.rb'
if( not file_loaded?("vfs.rb") )]

That did not help unfortunately

Is this some bug? Should i ge in touch with vray support about this? or just remove A2 Toolbar?

well, i figured it out..

Hello friends,

I am wondering how to create this nice spotlight effect that happens when the are paced behind screens/louvers. How do i get that washed up bright light effect if i am using black fins/louvers? I have attached a few pictures that might help explain what I am trying to achieve.

Thank you

Marry Christmas and a happy new year!

@pbacot said:

You will also get a more realistic smooth look if you add rounded edges to the rail profile. Weld (recurve) them prior to FMAK--they should be smooth for curved profiles. Even if you are looking for a chamfered appearance, all the corners look more realistic if rounded to some extent. They don't need too many facets, but should be softened/smoothed edges.

and i Weld (recurve) them prior to FMAK by.....using which plugin?

weld?

@pbacot said:

It looks like only 8 or so segments judging by the edges and endpoints. You would need more. What happened to the 100 segments?

Perhaps you do know as well: Endpoints style will make the image look rougher. depends on resolution, will also look better in a render, etc.

"Output of image AA quality".maybe that's what it is? how do i mess with that? what IS that?:D

so i am saying ~no matter how many segments you made your plan for railing, it turned out choppy/ first try was 25 segments.. second was 500 segments... same result... but thats a rough render there..( idk why my carpets fup like that)

still all choppy and sketchupish, how do i make that rail smoother?

i pulled up the 100+ segment circle line for the railing from the plan

next used it for follow me and KEEP... = choppy railing

follow me and keep" like he meant follow me and STAY! ( how i want you to stay!)

nice plugin any way.. works fine on win7+skp13+vray1.6

Awesome help folks!

thanks yall CO guys and all extension developers!

Happy 4tha July Fire works time... oh wait there is a fire ban

@tig said:

When you give FULL security permissions to the Plugins folder for all who are listed then these changes should ripple down to all contained subfolders and files...
How are you setting these permissions ?

the usual.. right click, properties, security, admin/ users way... isnt that right?

@dave r said:

Your Windows installation must be different. I didn't have to do that with any folders installed inside Plugins.

hmmm yeah maybe stuff is always the difficult way for me ..booo

any way.. installed vray 1.6 again, as soon as i click on the green click, BUGSPLAT!

guess we just have to wait for the next release of 1.6
