Works like a charm!!! But for me still some things are missing; support for greyscale transparency and lightmaps, a solution for z-fighting, fur & transparent material. I hope this will be supported in 2.5!

Cool, do you know when a plugin for Sketchup 2023 will release?

The current plugin just works fine in 2023!

How do you install it? When I try to install the plug-in it gives me options for 2017-2022. No option to install for 2023?

Kind Regards

Hi Rob,

I just installed the D5 plugin form the D5 website, which is actually the same as I used in the SU 2022.

Good luck!

Kind regards.

Also, D5 Render can open .skp files directly.

Have a nice day!
