"That looks like there is a section plane that we are applying. Try setting Use Section Planes to None and see if that fixes it: Can you send us the model so we could see it is a section plane that we should be ignoring?"

"Most of the light in your model is coming from the sky, from a horizontal direction fro under the ceiling. There is only on lamp, a directional spot light, in the model and it is illuminating very little little due to all of the light from the sky.…"

"Can you post the model so we can try to duplicate what you are seeing? If you put the model in a zip file, you can attach it to a reply using the Upload FIles option."

"I know that the latest version of IRender nXt on our downloads page, RF20, works with SketchUp 8: Why are you installing an older version of IRender nXt? Are you installing an older version to use with your current license? What is the file name…"

"The latest version now available on our download page renders these visible lamp beams correctly. Download page"

"Try this model that I have attached as a zip file, "beam_test.zip". It has a couple of "beam lamps" in it. It should render as this image below if you use the "ruby extractor". I'll post a version that will work…"

"Can you send me the model and I can try it here? here's our uploads page: http://renderplus.com/wp2/uploads/"

"I can only guess that the camera must be going behind a wall for some of the frames. There is a little bit of rounding that takes place when we calculate the camera position for the frames between the scenes."

"Just download the latest ArielVision from our downloads page and install that. http://renderplus.com/wp2/download/ It will notice that SketchUp 2018 is now installed and install into that."

"Can you send me a picture of what you are seeing? And perhaps send me a small model where I can try to duplicate this? Thanks, Rich"

"Two Questions: 1. What version of SketchUp 2014 are you running? Is it version: 14.1.1282 ? 2. Does the file win32ole.so exist in the folder below?       C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp…"
