Anyone else seeing that Ctrl copying with the move tool and array copying is slow as a dog and sometimes gets 'stuck' and then you end up with 2 copies over each other?
This is SketchUp 13.0.4812 I am using.
+1. kinda bug. Very irritating.
Are you using V-Ray? I disabled VR and it does seem to speed things up in regards to array copies,
Also look in here to get some nice old wood textures.
Simple stuff. 3-5 windows that are cut face components sometimes. 5-6 Groups copied as an array. Stuff that used to be fine. I have noticed this issue since I went to 2013.
I's say your first problem is that you are using 1.49.00

Why use a refraction layer on arch glass? Does anyone do it and why? Do we think the result is more realistic?
Vray has been out of beta for quite some time now. I think the version you are using is most likely out of date.

HUH?
I found this article which has some good tips.

DR is great if you have machines to render to. I am looking to increase animation render times without having to go out and buy a farm.
Guess I am getting my answer, huh?
(crickets)
I'm wondering if anyone can share any tips / tricks in order to get animations out faster. The last 40 second one I did took over 9 hours to export at 30fps. I guess I could cut down to 24 and maybe reduce the size of the export and hook up some other machines to DR but are there any other secrets to getting these things to cook faster?
I have never had luck with disp siding and stay away from it completely. We need a script to make lap and shingle siding!
Is this a limitation of the demo or do I have an installation problem?
The siding material lives in here...
Very useful Andy. Thanks a lot. Just as a note, you cannot use this method with the dome light currently from what I understand. This was a mistake I was making for a long time. Your image has to be in your BG slot.
As buggy as 1.49.01 was, I think we can all say we were able to get some nice renderings and make some money from it. If we expected to get 2.0 for free, you know what we would get? A piece of crap. If we want Chaos to continue to update and improve V-Ray for SketchUp, you gotta pay the guys that work there for their hard work. 2.0 is a far better product than 1.49.01 and worth the cost to upgrade in my opinion. Maybe Santa will bring you a copy if you're a good boy.
It's most likely a material related issue. VR had a issue with geometry missing because a material couldn't be found. It's a bug and has been addressed in a nightly test build.
