      However there is no Vray Toys tool bar anywhere.

      The V-Ray Toys toolbar should be available before loading V-Ray. From the View > Toolbar menu.
      Did you mean the V-Ray for SketchUp toolbar? (if so - do you get errors when you try to start V-Ray?)

      Also, when I close SU I get a bugsplat. Any ideas?

      Never experienced this. You don't get this without V-Ray Toys?

        There has been some issues reported when users don't have admin rights. Or full access rights to SU's folder. Could very well be it.
        Do you see a Compatibility Files button when you browse the Plugins folder?

          Ahhh, don't know why I didn't check the view>toolbar menu... it was late. I'll try again tonight.

          No I don't. Do I need to change permissions on my programs>google>su folder? When I copy paste plugins it asks for permissions (windows vista).

          Thanks

            I was wondering if it would be possible to change this plugin to control the automatic start of any other plugins such as the 1001 bit tools, or some other little tools that we don't use often. That would make the start Sketchup faster. So by default, would start with the Sketchup few essential plugins.

              If I wanted to remove V-Ray Toys...
              how do I get about doing that in a way that vray will load automatically? After removing the vray toys files, vray still won't load on sketchup startup. I remember you once wrote that vray toys changes one of the file names in order to prevent vray from loading... which file was it?

                What version of V-Ray do you use? (Exact version number please)

                    This plugin doesn't rename any files for that version. You re-enable V-Ray from the Window > Preferences > Extension list.

                            Would it possible that someday this Plugin (Camera Sync-Vray Toys) can work to other Render Software like podium? 😉

                                Oo, I see,

                                Just wondering that we can use this nice plugin for any other Rendering Software, because many rendering software have the same problem with rendering output view, like VRay

                                    1. i've put "VRayToys folder" and VRayToys.rb in SU8 plugin folder "\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins"
                                    2. i open the SU8, turn off the VRay toolbar and i quit SU8
                                    3. i open the SU8 again (this way is working when i'm still SU7) and then nothing happen...

                                    Did you just close the toolbar, or did you disable VfSU from Window > Preferences > Extensions ?
                                    You need to do the latter.

                                    yes, I've done both ways...
                                    Finally, I tried to remove the VRayToys first, then put it back...
                                    Weird, VRayToys can work again like it should 😄
                                    But, when i try to Load VRay, it takes 15-20 minute to Appear 😢
                                    Is there something i done wrong? please help...

                                    I'm having the same problem...TT does tat means its not working for SU 8???? NOooooooooo......PLS HELP ME.

                                      Mr thomtom,

                                      Pls help me on my situation

                                      This is basically what i did:

                                      1.uncheck vray in the preference
                                      2. put the vray toys rb n the folder into the PLUGIN folder
                                      3. open SU 8 again, and load vray on demand. ( it loads in 40-60s)
                                      4. vray tools appear and and i open vray render option.

                                      i input the image aspect ratio into vray tools and click on 'set spect ratio'.
                                      AND NOTHINGS HAPPENS, i mean no factors r generated for me to input.

                                      "Set the V-Ray Physical Camera's Zoom property to: x.xxx'

                                      The value remain x.xxx. It wont works no matter how many times i click on it.

                                      Is this not functioning on su8? if not, is there any other way to sync the cameras.
                                      I'm using hdir and turned off physical camera and when i render it zoom out like crazy. which is why i resort to Vray toys.

                                        hmm... I'm trying this plugin for the first time... it sort of works, but when using 'Start V-ray', the toolbar doesn't show up. The editors, such as material editor etc, work fine when approached via the plugin/Vray menu, it's only the toolbar that doesn't show up.

                                        It's been a while since this thread was active... is the plugin still up to date? I use the latest versions of SU and V-ray, which did not yet exist at time of creation of this plugin...

                                        The auto do not load but only when I start it - is the only reason for me to use this plugin, since the other stuff can be achieved with Advanced Camera tools - correct me if I'm wrong...

                                          I have version 2 on my computer. Along with this plugin I also have a few other updates due for release after I release Vertex Tools 1.1 in a couple of weeks.

                                            Hi!

                                            Don´t know if this thread is alive anymore but... I´m having troubles using the plugin together with the "photo match" tools in SU. When I add the values suggested by the "Camera sync" plugin the render stills turn out weird (V-ray just render a small part of the actual view).

                                            I´ve tried searching for a thread on this problem but with no luck.

                                            Thanks alot for sharing your excellent plugins with us!

                                            /Charlie
