My Hardware:
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB SDRAM
Mac OS X V. 10.5.1
-------------------------------

Download my Problem Files:
Loft.skp (SkechUp File)
Loft_v1_10.mxs (MaxwellExport with the new Plugin v.1.10)
Loft_v1_8b.mxs (MaxwellExport with the "old" Plugin v.1.8b)

Download my Files as zip:
LOFT
-------------------------------

The Problem:

1) I can't open the Loft_v1_10.mxs (exported from Sketchup with the new Plugin) in Studio. Studio is hanging. Directly rendering with the render works.

2) The duration for the export with the new Plugin needs 3Minutes and the Filesize at the end is 9.3MB.
With the old Plugin, the export needs 5 Seconds and the File Size are 1.8MB. The Exportfile Loft_v1_8b.mxs from the "old" Plugin works, an i can open it in Studio R1.6

I installed back the old Plugin because i can't use the new Plugin. It don't works fine!

I hope for a soon update that works.
Greetings Michel

I used this plugin:

MaxwellExport (version 1.10)

I opened the file without a problem (also checked if there were problem to fix, but everythink was ok).
First I exported the file without launching the render engine, and it was really fast: 4 seconds!
(My machine is a HPxw4400 with a core2 E6300 @1.86GHz with 2GB of ram and WinXP PRO 32bit)
When I tried to export the file launching the render engine, nothing happened; I mean, Maxwell didn't open, but the file was exported.
I had no problem rendering my exported files and also your "Loft_v1_1.mxs" file.
The size of my exported files is (the same) 1,893 KB, just 1 KB more than you v1.8 version.
Searching for a reason why your v1.1 (excuse me, but maybe you mean v1.10?) I got this from the console of Mxcl:
(for Loft_v1_1.mxs)
Geometry:
- Num Meshes: 7759
- Num Triangles: 24554
- Num Vertexes: 35756
- Num Normals: 16634

(for one of mine)
Geometry:
- Num Meshes: 7
- Num Triangles: 24554
- Num Vertexes: 12661
- Num Normals: 6453

(for Loft_v1_8b.mxs)
Geometry:
- Num Meshes: 7
- Num Triangles: 24554
- Num Vertexes: 12661
- Num Normals: 6453

Yes, I mean v.1.10. (I have the text above corrected).
And could you open also my Loft_v1_10.mxs (9.3MB) export with my v.1.10 in Studio?

Perhaps, it is again only a problem with the Mac-Computers

cheers

Poor Macs!
I had no problem opening it.
The difference is the report of the console:
7759 vs only 7 meshes??!?
I slowly opened the v1.10 in Studio and obviously the 7759 meshes are there....
I think is the same problem of this (Mac related):

This is a known problem specific to OSX version of the plugin only. It was discussed in the forum previously. The fix for the problem is available already, it should be released very soon. If you need it right away please send me PM with your email - I will send it to you directly.
