Feature Introduction
Launch D5 render with one-click in SketchUp
Import the currently edited new model into the D5 render, and start real-time rendering work.
Please sync in perspective view for the best viewpoint sync experience.
When the model file of the ongoing rendering project needs to be modified, you can start a linkage to establish a connection with the original model or replace it with a new model.
Model/Material/Scene Sync
After making changes to the current model in SketchUp, use the Sync button to quickly sync the changed model and materials to D5, while preserving other parameters such as materials and scene that have already been adjusted in the D5 render.
Supports one-click synchronization of the scene list in SketchUp to the D5 render.
Viewpoint Switch
Keep the viewpoint consistent in the horizontal direction between SketchUp and D5 renderer.
Supports one-click to turn on or off viewpoint linkage.
Light Sync
Click the "Add Light Source" button, you can select the D5 light source (point light, spotlight, strip light, rect light) in a new window and add it to the scene.
The position and related parameters of the added light source will be synchronized to the D5 render in real time.
Uninstall
Select "Extensions Manager" in the SketchUp menu bar, select "su_to_d5render" and choose Uninstall.
Find the file "su_to_d5render.rb" in the directory C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\current SketchUp version\SketchUp\Plugins, and delete it.
