Since the SketchUp installer used is missing the D5 Sync runtime dependency profile, it is recommended to reinstall SketchUp using an installer from another source, and then reinstall SketchUp-D5 Sync.

Solution: Open this skp file in SketchUp, hide all the light source by SketchUp-D5 Sync with one click, save the skp file, and then import it into D5 render directly.
Tips: The light source tool of SketchUp-D5 Sync is only applicable to the workflow of plugin synchronization. ——Under the direct read workflow, the D5 light source added through the plugin will become an entity model and the light source be read directly. Under the workflow of plugin synchronization, the D5 light source added in SketchUp is hidden by default, and the light source is displayed in the scene of the D5 Render.

If you sync a model using D5 Direct Reading or D5 LiveSync for SketchUp, and then mirror a group or component after it has been created, the terrain grass will not appear on the mirrored part. This is a known issue that will be addressed in a future update.
Currently, we recommend exploding the mirrored part of the group or component before syncing or importing it into D5. This workaround should ensure the terrain grass displays correctly.
