Hi All,

I have recently loaded the new MR plugin 2.5 with sketchup 8.

when i export .mxs to MR (or press render tab within SU) i receive the following pop up error within the MR console "...... .mxs cannot be read"

Can next limit support please assist as this is preventing me from working

Thanks

Rod

Some questions:

1. which operating system are you using?
2. when you write '2.5' plugin, do you mean 2.5.15?
3. what version of Maxwell Render do you have installed?
4. does the MXS file in question actually exist, or not?
5. if so, do you get a similar message when trying to open it in Studio?
6. if so, what if you move the file to your desktop and try to open it there?

Older versions of Maxwell cannot read MXS files written by newer plugins. It is also conceivable for file-permission issues to prevent a given MXS file from being opened.
