sketchup demo plugin - problem saving textures @ render time

[originalsurfmex]

When beginning a render, the demo plugin tries to save textures to

Code: Select all

...MyDocs/Octane/SketchUp/temp/textures/texture

This would normally be fine, however my computer is on a network and MyDocs actually falls on a network path so it looks more like

Code: Select all

///site.host.net/USER/LOC/Home/Username/MyDocs/Octane/SketchUp/temp/textures/texture

It would seem that for this reason I get the error:
Failed to write ///site.host.net/USER/LOC/Home/Username/MyDocs/Octane/SketchUp/temp/textures/texture

I took a look at the only two .rb files I could find for the plugin: octane_render.rb & init.rb, but couldn't find anything related in those locations. Any suggestions?

Hi originalsurfmex,

I have never tried this setup.
Is "///site.host.net/USER/LOC/Home/Username/MyDocs/Octane/SketchUp/temp/textures/" location accessible when being entered in Windows Explorer?
