I ran into problems also... I got a small sphere and black box represently the atompshere. I am not sure if it exported everything in correc area. No terrain. I have an idea that it maybe related on where you specified the objects - maybe the book has more information. I did place VueSynch.p in plugin directory but I did nothing with it. I also have 7.5, so it should work on there, but I saw in another thread that the sync stuff works on 8.0, so this should work.
