[Plugin] V-Ray Tools

ssfat06 · 26 May 2014, 03:35

Installed your plugin and it somehow messed up the material link when you pick a material from sketchup model it doesn't reflect on the vray material editor, the selection in the vray material editor is always stuck on 1 material, tried uninstalling the ruby by deleting the files and folder in the sketchup root folder then uninstalled sketchup and re installed but i seem to get the same problem am using vray 2.0 and sketchup 2013, seems the problem might have started when i purged materials using vray tools, i have also tried copying the model to a fresh sketchup file but still nothing fruitful, the project is due and am stuck i get this error when i open the file

Error Loading File C:\ProgramData/ASGVIS/VfS/Ruby/R2P.rb
undefined method entityID' for nil:NilClass Error Loading File vfs.rb undefined method entityID' for nil:NilClass

any help will be appreciated, and thanks in advance. i just need my vray back to the way it was thank you

I have the same problem.Problem solved? Does any suggestion?
purged model => error message occurred after open the saved file again.

Error Loading File C:\ProgramData/ASGVIS/VfS/Ruby/R2P.rb
undefined method entityID' for nil:NilClass Error Loading File vfs.rb undefined method entityID' for nil:NilClass

Appreciated.

Did you use V-Ray Tools in any way?

Greetings,

I am unable to get 'Load V-ray' option activated neither via toolbar nor the plugin menu.
Both of them are grayed out.

I was wondering whether the current release of Vray Tools (2.2.1 - ?) is compatible with Vray 2,0 on Su 2014.

I will I appreciate any elucidation on the above.
Thank you in advance.

It should be. However, if the button is disabled it probably means that V-Ray is loaded.
Make sure that V-Ray for SketchUp is disabled under Preferences > Extensions.

I thank you very much.

It did work once.
Once deactivating Vray via Preferences - Extensions the two Vray toolbars were loaded.

A Load Button within Vray Tools became grayed and it remained thus after I closed (clicking on red close button)them. The Load Button (Vray Tools) remained desactivated-grayed.
In order to recall Vray toolbars I had to do it manually (View - Toolbars, etc).

I find that there is no possibility to switch an appearance of the Vray toolbar using Load Button of Vray Tools. Once they become activated the mentioned button keeps remaining gray - disabled.

Is this a 'normal' case or is there something here, between a chair and a screen?

Once V-Ray is loaded you cannot unload it during that session.

Once you have disabled VfSU in Preferences it should not load when you start SketchUp.
Then you can use V-Ray Tools to load SketchUp on demand and it will remain loaded for the duration of that session.

Are you seeing that VfSU is disabled along with the Load V-Ray button in V-Ray Tools?

pipinek · 9 Sept 2014, 02:05

Thank you for your response.
In that case all function as programed. I thought that pressing a Load Button could load and UNLOAD the VfSU.
Indeed, the Load Button is active after starting SU, before loading VfSU and become gray/inactive once the Vray toolbars are loaded.
I have simply expected the Load Button to unload VfSU.

My best regards.

Hi Thomas,

I'm trying to use your V-Ray Tools plugin to match Sketchup's viewport resolution and aspect ratio to v-ray's so that I can export a linework image and composite it with my v-ray render. I take the resolution and aspect ratio numbers from the v-ray output screen and put them into their appropriate spots on the v-ray tools plugin safe export menus.

The image exports, but it doesn't match the V-ray render.

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Richard

Hello Thomas,

When I try to use the camera tool to set up the aspect ratio, I loose my 2 point perspective that I have set up for my scene. Am I missing something?

tt_su · 1 Nov 2014, 18:09

hm... I'm not sure is aspect ratio is compatible with 2pt perspective... I'd have to check.

Hi all,
I have a question - how can I see correct view in SU when I change "Physical Camera setting / Override focal lenght /set to 17? Is there some way how to see in viewport the same aspect which will match with the render?
Thank you very much for an advice!
