Hi guys, I am trying to render a floor plan in sketchup 2016 using vray 2.0. Strong shadow is casting on the model, I tried everything:
1. Turned off shadow function in sketchup
2. Turn off light and shadow
3. Turn off sun in the environment tab.Shadow is still there! Anyone know how to turn if off?
Thank you.

Hi guys,
I will show you what I need and why with an example so you can guide me with differents ways maybe.
I am trying to do for example a handball field's dashed lines...
Basically, I exploded a dashed line to it's segments in autocad. And then want to make faces from those lines with like multiple offsets. I tried "extrude edges by offset" from the "Extrusion Tools" plug-in but it made just a single line not multiple...
Then I tried "multiple offset" plug-in but it is not working with edges, just working with faces...
I can not use "extrude lines" plug-in because you know I want them to offset through the centre of the arc, not a single direction...
Do you have any suggestions for me? or I will offset them separately and make faces manually
![:frowning:]( ":frowning:")
Thank you for your help!

Is there any way to "project" silhouettes onto planes? This functionality would be very useful in accurately extruding and intersecting shapes. This would work like the opposite of the Drape tool, which projects 2D shapes onto 3D terrain contours. Here, one could go from 3D to 2D.
By using something akin to the shadow generation feature in SU, I'd like to be able to obtain the outlines of an object in X,Y and/or Z, or combinations thereof. The illustration below is self-explanatory,,,

Hi there,
I'm lookiung for an extension for placing 3D-roof tiles. Something like AVIZ studiotools, roofs and tiles (http://www.avizstudio.com/tools/atiles/) which is only available for 3DS Max. Does anybody know whether there is such an extension (or something similar) available for SketchUp?
Grtz,
Jan

Hi folks,
I want to activate Vray3 for SU offline. Therefore I should upload a so called "Activation Request File" with the file extension .csr to Chaos Group in order to obtain an "Activation File".
I have no clue where I would find this mysterious .csr file on my PC and the web page of Chaos Group is not providing any information. Does somebody know where I find the .csr file on my PC?

I'm sure I've read about a plugin that makes it quicker - perhaps automatic - to save a SU file as an older version.
I know it can be done via menu File Save As, but I often forget to do that for a colleague whose computer can't run SU 2017 - he needs v 2016 files.
I've search both SketchUcation Plugin Store and Extension Warehouse for 'save as', and get nothing relevant. I've also searched this forum, where I think I first saw it mentioned, again with no useful result.
Can anyone point me to a source for this plugin? Thanks in advance if you can.

Is there any plug-in (or method) that'll allow me to axially bend or warp a plane (or volume)? See blue arrows, top picture.
I'm drawing a fan's propeller, which is, as illustrated by the side-on view at bottom, twisted along the rotation plane.
The hub's receiver section is bent the same way (white arrow, bottom picture).![]()

Hi all,
I've managed to get myself into a spot of bother... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
• I installed http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/timms-site-viewer to evaluate it. However, even since doing so my SU2017 no longer loads up successfully.
o The SU window opened, but then immediately froze and no error message was displaying. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not resolve the issue.
• I installed Site Viewer (SV) on SU2016 and SU2015, both of which started up fine.
• I have since uninstalled SV on both SU2015 and SU2016 in an attempt to get SU2017 to work, but with no joy. Uninstalled and reinstalled SU2017 a few times during this process.
• I did at least start to receive an error message, "Error loading file applanix_sitepbllisher/install.rb, could not find included rile 'applanix_sitepublisher/install.rb'."
• I have since removed all references to Applanix and TIMMs site viewer from SU2017 relevant sections of the registry, still to no avail. Uninstalled and reinstalled 2017 again.
• There are numerous help articles regarding “Error loading file …” but none seem to directly address this situation.
• I have emailed Applinax support with the above request for assistance and their response was to send me the installation instructions, which was far from helpful. I've written back to them and am awaiting their reply. Have also emailed SU support.
• I'm guessing there is a way to remove all references to the SV plug-in such that SU2017 doesn't try and load it. But I'm not sure how to do this from outside of SU2017.Please let me know what other (if any) information I can provide that might help you help me...
Thanks again,
James

I would like to know how to make the scene 'whiter' and less pinkish when I render in vray. There are no openings except from the side from which you are looking in and the wall on the left and ceiling beams are supposed to be white.
