We hope to fix this and put out a new version later this week.

In the meantime, you will have to re-enter the lighting channels every time you start a new rendering.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I can not duplicate this.

I change the lighting channel levels and they are retianed when I go back and forth from the rendering dialog to SketchUp, and they retain their values when I close and reopen a model file in SketchUp. Both the levels and the check box values are retained.

What version of IRender nXt are you running?

What is the version number that you are running? Below you can see that I am running version "LC13", the latest version that we have posted.

Do you have the setting checked to Import Settings from the Rendering Window? That will ensure that all changes are brought back after you have adjusted the settings in the rendering window.

I assume that you save your model after making any changes.

Could you send us a model that you have rendered where the lighting channel settings are not getting saved? You can use the Uploads tab above to send us a large file.

The render looks fine to me.

What we are trying to figure out is why you have to keep re-entering your lighting channel settings, and why the settings are not saved with the model.

I had hoped that you could post your model, the actual SketchUp .skp file, or send it to us directly, so that we could see if we could duplicate the problem with keeping the lighting channel settings.

No, I installed the LA03 version here and Lighting Channels works fine for me in that version too.

I change a lighting channel setting and it stays changed, going back and forth between the rendering dialog and SketchUp, and it's still the same value the next time I open that model...

So I'm still wondering what would make it not work.

I did also notice that the Enable Artifical lighting switch was indicated as off - which may sound obvious, which may mean it has nothing to do with the light channels?
