Hi jeff,

Please post the SKP file, maybe there is a problem with the export from SkIndigo.

Thanks Zom-B! I'll check that out.

Only thing: beware of blank-skyed windows 8) The little pines are excellent indeed: what collection do they come from? The little pines are Scots Pines from Xfrog. (3D). All plants and trees are 3D. I am bit disappointed in the Xfrog library pre-made library trees. Some trees are quite nice but a l...

Thanks! I feel like I'm improving but I'm always worried it's all in my head.

I cringed when I saw the house plans for this one, but I tried my best to make it look purty....

Any comments and crits?

I believe Apple is aware of the issue and I am trusting that they will ...

The issue is apparently caused by the latest Safari update :roll: and affects all plugins that use webdialogs. I will see if I can provide a fix in the next release but I'm not sure when that will be. Try to revert to an older version of Safari. If I can find another workaround, I will post it here.

Sorry guys,

Can you confirm that older versions of SkIndigo do not have this issue?

Thank you cotty for your inspiration for using the awesome MakeFur plugin. Any SketchUp user would be wise to put in the time to learn the power of using the plugin in combination with dummy instancing. I was finally able to come up with a 3D grass system that gives good results. Using the fur plugi...
