Rendered model in vray frame buffer shows up off screen

[lciaccia]

I am loving this vray for sketchup plugin so far. although i'm having a hard time setting up an image so it renders the same views as i have setup in the scene tabs of sketchup. It always shows up partially off the screen in the vray buffer, usually off to the bottom. Even when i uncheck overide viewport in the output options. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? How can i get it to show up exactly as i have it in the sketchup view screen
thanks

I've noticed this as well - I believe the issue will occur when your output image aspect ratio is not the same as the viewport. We are looking to resolve this in our service release - but for the time being you may want to see if making sure the aspect ratio of the viewport and your image output size ( in the Output tab of our options) are the same

Thanks for the feedback.
is it for the same reason that i'm unable to render 2D elevation views? when i use one of the preset elevation views in sketchup it always converts the view to a perspective in the vray frame buffer.

For things like elevations or 2d type views, the issue probably comes from converting the parallel camera to a perspective camera. An easy way to get around this is to simply never set up a parallel camera. You can get pretty close to parallel by having a very long focal length, somewhere greater then 300mm. After that, just line up your view and it should be good to go.

thanks for your input,
i've tried putting the focal length to 300 but it puts me very close to the model. how far back must i zoom in sketchup because it has become very difficult to see the model from this far back, and it seems i am not able to center the model on the view for the frame buffer.
