      Hi,

      On my 3d model, I put a mirror opposite to one other.
      When i looked through one on them, I should have a kind inifinite reflexion.
      But my render on vray stopped after only three reflexions, as you can see in the attached file.
      What parameter should I switch ? I tried things like uncheck "maxdepth" in global switches, but nothing worked for now.

      Thx !


      3 reflexions only

        It's a material feature, not a global feature.
        In the material editor, in the "Options" tab of your mirror material, change the "Refraction Max Depth" to a higher value.

        But you won't be able to go to infinity. Also, a value too high will probably crash Sketchup.

          I had a similar case a while back. I did max reflection at 50, refraction at 16 (had those glass dividers too). Here is how it looked

              Where your mirrors a plane or a 3D object? Because mine is a solid and it’s not working 😞

                For a mirror, it's what material is applied to the surface that matters, not whether an object is a solid or a face. As far as the reflection/refraction scene settings, this was done many, many versions ago, and I don't know where the settings are currently found.
