Windows version is ready, there are still some problems with OSX version (due to problems with SU SDK). In any case the SU7 version should be released to public next week.

There is one very important change which is not directly visible though. The handling of transformation matrices was overwritten to solve the issues of Studio compatibility for groups/components. This is a big one - I believe this fixes the issues of objects misplaced in Studio or Studio crashes when loading SU generated MXS files for good.

There were also fixes for Win64. No other improvements at this point - there is a few things I am working on but I need to get SU7 version out as soon as possible.

Pretty cool. How about us SU 6 users? Don't tell me these fixes will only be available to the elitist SU 7 crowd. :twisted:

Seriously, though.

The changes will apply to both SU6 and SU7 - both versions will be released together.

Just to let you know - there will be a few days delay in the release of plugin for SU7. I got one more problem reported which I want to address first.

Thank you for understanding.

I am also hoping that the new plugin release will be available for SU6, as I will not be upgrading for a while.

Thanks for your hard work.

Sounds great with an update for SU7!

Would it be possible to turn off vignetting directly from SketchUp and avoid the dark corners in wide angle renders?
- maybe in this or future updates?

Yes - it is possible, I am putting it on my ToDo list.
