Thanks for your replys, JD.
A few more errors and wishes:
- Error: When using "Hidden Layers: Do not render", this happens: Groups that are hidden or on an Off-layer are rendered! Faces that are hidden or on an off-layer are not rendered. None should be rendered.
These are the objects modeled in SketchUp:
This is the model to be rendered:
The rendering:
- Error: As mentioned by other users: Wrong flipping/mirroring when exporting to mxs. Example: SketchUp-model and MXS-file
- Wish: ability to press "enter" after entering a value instead of clicking somewhere else in the window.
- Wish: Sun on/off unlinked to SketchUp. I would prefer a completely unlinked shadow-setting (or an option to link/unlink to application).
A couple of answers:
- Error: Sometimes the buttons in the Maxwell Scene Manager doesn't work. Restarting the Scene Manager ususaly makes them function again.
--JD-- Could you tell me which buttons you mean? Which operating system are you running on?
= This happened short after installation and I have not been able to reproduce this issue. It concerned the Ground Plane Mode-button and a few times the Environment Type-button.
I run WinXP 32bit.
- Error: Output Resolution: When using "Custom"-mode and "Aspect Locked", changing the Y-value will change X and Y to "2" and mess up the scene. Changing the X-value will sometimes change X and Y to "2" but doesn't mess up the scene.
--JD-- I'm not able to observe this, so could you give a more specific set of steps by which I may duplicate it?
= This only happens when the "Show Aspect Ratio in Viewport" is enabled.
The steps are very simple: In Output Resolution choose Custom Mode. Choose a preset. Make sure to enable the button "Show Aspect Ratio in Viewport". Lock the aspect ratio. Drag or click the Y-slider to change the value. When mouse-button is released, X and Y values are changed to "2 px" and the Scene is messed up (result is VERY close zoom-in and no field of view).
To me this is quite a bad error because when the scene is being messed up it is instantly saved and the action can't be undone in any way. Only way to get the scene back is to revert to last file-save.
