SketchUp plug-in updates :: Release notes v.2.1.12
Version 2.1.12 Release Notes
Version 2.1.12 is the first update to the recently-released new Maxwell Render for SketchUp plugin. Several bugs have been fixed, and some functionality has been fine-tuned.
Changes
- Added support for SketchUp 6, both on Windows and OSX (there are now separate installers for 6 and 7).
- Behavior of the plugin's custom Select Tool has been enhanced, and it has been given a new toggle button in the plugin's menu and toolbar. See section 5.3.2. in the (updated) plugin manual for details.
- The Auto-MXM feature now works with layer names; operation is the same as it is for material names.
- Pre-export synchronization of object attributes has been optimized, so that it now takes less time.
- A new plugin option has been added, which allows you to choose between the use of SketchUp's built-in file browsing and that (i.e. OS- and extension-specific) provided by the plugin.
- By request, Scene Manager > Output > Stop Time is now labeled as min, rather than m.
- The plugin's Emitter Character now includes the material's color and texture in a base BSDF.
- Added more detailed logging functionality (logs are written to [documents]/Maxwell/SketchUp/logs).
- The Scene Manager menu item and toolbar button now function as toggles.
- The plugin manual has been updated.
- Searching for mxms at document load time has been improved.
- Added 'Copy to All' functionality for Image Based channels.
- Image Based channels Scale changed to use Studio-style value range.
- Added support and installers for SketchUp 8.
- Added support for SketchUp's Parallel and Two-Point perspective camera modes.
Fixes
- Materials were not propagated properly on entities which used the 'separate-by none' option.
- Some entities which had been negatively-scaled and rotated in SketchUp could import into Maxwell Studio in odd positions; this has been improved, but may not work perfectly yet, in some more extreme cases.
- Geometry in groups could be exported, even if the group was hidden, or was on a hidden layer.
- Some UI-related problems could appear on systems which did not use US-English regional settings.
- Material previews could become mixed up when opening a saved document.
- It was impossible to clear Scene Manager > Output > File in some cases.
- Paths which contained apostrophes could cause files (MXM, etc.) not to be found.
- If a referenced MXM file was not found when opening a document, its name could be erased from the material.
- In some cases, camera data was not properly stored on SketchUp Scenes.
- The wrong texture could be used at export-time in plugin materials.
- Image Based channel Scale was not handled correctly.
