Re: Sketchup 7.1...

Yep, no problems so far other than the V-Ray Toon Material crash bug which I posted in the Bugs Forum, but I'm pretty sure that isn't caused by SU 7.1. It's probably just a long standing bug which no-one stumbled across before.

In case anyone is wondering, the main improvement in SU 7.1 over 7.0 is speed. It's still a long way off from true "high-poly" capabilities, but it's much much faster and can handle way more polys comfortably. Of course this won't affect VfSU's performance as the SU improvements are almost entirely display-based.

BTW, to get the very best speed improvement from SU7.1 go to your current "Style" and under the "Edit" tab change "Transparency Quality" to "Faster". It makes a HUGE difference, even in files without any transparent materials. One test file I use for benchmarking went from 14fps to 24fps just by changing transparency quality from "Nicer" to "Faster".
