Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hello together

On my machine, the follow Plugin-Functions don't works:

• SU6: Plugins > Maxwell Export > Maxwell Material Browser
• SU6: Plugins > Maxwell Export > Maxwell Material Wizard

I can click on this Menu-Items and nothing happens.

Opening the Browser and Wizards from the SU plugins folder is really slow (caused by Ruby), so you may have to wait a minute. On the other hand it can be the same changes to Ruby and IntelMacs that caused the export problem, and probably also the textures problems.

I posted some texture tips/questions in the previous thread. Did you have time to test if they solve anything?

Instead of opening the Material Editor (MXED includes the browser & wizards) from the SU/plugins menu I open it from the normal start menu. It starts faster, runs smoother, and you can keep it open as you work in SU.

no, not jet. I trie it later. Thak's anyway.

Tis is the export result on my machine:

Michel,

The following worked for me:

Quit SketchUp.

Edit the MaxwellExport.rb file (probably here: /Library/Application\ Support/Google\ SketchUp\ 6/SketchUp/Plugins/MaxwellExport.rb) with a text editor as follows:

Under the section/title 'Open Maxwell Material Editor in browser mode' replace the path '/Applications/mxed.app/Contents/MacOS/mxed -brw' with '/Applications/Maxwell/mxed.app/Contents/MacOS/mxed -brw'

Under the section/title 'Open Maxwell Material Editor in wizard mode' replace the path '/Applications/mxed.app/Contents/MacOS/mxed -wizard' with '/Applications/Maxwell/mxed.app/Contents/MacOS/mxed -wizard'

Save the edited file.

Start SketchUp.

Hope that works for you.

Thank's a lot Jacques. The edited "MaxwellExport.rb" file works on my Computer too. Great. You should send the corrected Ruby-Script-File to Maxwell.

And Sheik, the opening-time needs aubout one second !!! (Not a minute, like on your Computer)

Cool, thanks again a lot.

thanks jacques! i had the same problem.
