      Just as a heads up to those who use proxies.

      It seems to me that Sketchup doesn't recognize Vray proxy materials as being 'used' in a model, so be careful with the material purge button or tools such as TT's Cleanup2. I took me a while to realize why my proxies kept losing their materials.

        A trick I use is to be sure to place each ID material to one of the proxy triangles. This way it is seen as used and will not purge and it also stays along with the component.

        Beware that purge plugins will also purge materials that are used as part of a 2-sided material. Chaos recommends using the purge material feature inside the material editor.
