Scene Errors when using Maxwell Fire with Grass.

I am trying to render a model using Sketchup with the Grass application.
The grass application alone through Maxwell Fire works fine, when I bring in my SU model it shows me the message of "scene errors".
I have upgraded to the most recent update. And support has suggested I post here to get assistance from the plugin developer.

When you say you are using the most recent update, does that include the version 3.0.4 plugin available on
the Maxwell Betas page?

Yes, please send it (a SKP, and as simple as possible) to jeremy at nextlimit dotcom, and let me know which OS and version you are using, and which version of SketchUp.

The problem appears to be that there is not enough memory to render using these grass settings (mainly, the 2000 blades/m^2) on a plane of this size. Rather than crash the SketchUp process due to lack of memory, the grass extension is returning an error. It may work fine in Maxwell Studio or Maxwell Render, since those are 64-bit applications.
