Occlusion Map Location

I'm guessing this is easy and I'm just missing it. When downloading PBR quality materials that come with all the different maps (Diffuse, Normal, Displacement, etc...), many of them come with a black and white Occlusion map. Where does this map go in VRay for Sketchup 3.6? Searching just landed me on tutorials about using ExtraTex in Render Elements to do Ambient Occlusion, but I'm guessing that's for a whole scene, and not for handling the OCC map for just one specific material. Thanks!

In V-Ray, it's called "opacity".
I don't have a computer with me, but I think it is located in the "options" section of the material.

I like use a Mix Operator tex in the Diffuse slot with the Occlusion map on top set to Multiply, then of course you put the albedo map in the bottom slot.
