[RV270.1271] Thea for SketchUp

[Tomasz]

Hello All,

Here is a maintenance release of the plugin with:

• Improved: Faster IR refresh when editing materials through presets
• Improved: Darkroom rendering is paused when asking "Stop rendering?"- gives better responsiveness
• Fixed: Saving to img.thea was not possible when channels were rendered in RV259 (by pappleby)
• Fixed: BatchRender - smoothing of ungrouped geometry is rendered correctly now. Previously it was rendered flat.
• Fixed: Thea Browser was showing some component previews clipped. They are being displayed in full now.
• Fixed: Bump map was being lost when editing a preset when IR was running
• Fixed: IES lights with symmetry are handled correctly now (#1501 by liveonce1)
• Fixed: Crash on re-rendering model after disabling previously rendered channels
• Fixed: Unicode characters in IBL patch were displayed wrong
• Fixed: When inserting mod.skp with unicode characters in a name, an empty component was added. Everything works now, even with unicode characters
• Fixed: Mac: SketchUp was waiting for Thea Studio to close after exporting from TheaTool. SU isn't blocked now.
• New: support for the most recent Skatter alpha version added

Please note that IES fix will not work in Thea Studio 1.4.05.1261. An update for Studio is coming.

Btw I have seen this submenue today, for what is it?

For assigning a mask index to a group or a component. This 'mask#index' will be added to rendered channels list in Darkroom if Mask channel is enabled. If you assign all five masks to different objects in a model you will receive five mask channels.

???? Is skatter already en beta and open for public testing? Why else would you state it in the log, i did miss out somewhere

PS if we need more than 5 masks, how is this done?
