That V2013 bug is more easily overcome by simply unchecking and then rechecking V-Ray Tools in the View > Toolbars dialog. it removes itself from wherever it was hiding and relocates to a floating position in the drawing space.

Didn't work for me...

Thomas you're a champ.
As always.

I really like the update to the V-ray tools
Especially the load-on-demand saves me a headache every time I start SketchUp!

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

Can you describe in more detail?
Do you get errors in the Ruby Console (if you keep it open)?
Do you have screenshots of what you see?
What are the steps you do when you can not export?

Ello,

Loving this Tool for quick loading V-Ray - really awesome. We can only install this plugin by copying the rpz files (unpacked) to the SketchUp plugin directory.

It means we have to manually click Windows > Pref > and select the tools for every first time use. Is there a way round this, that the newly copied TT plugin files could also be set to be loaded (but not the actual V-Ray plugin obviously)?

Many thanks in advance

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand the question here.
Is it an installation issue?

Hi Thomthom - thanks for the super speedy reply

So we are copying the unpacked files to the plugin folder. This works fine, but on first use they aren't setup as default enabled, so it has to be done manually. Once enabled, everything seems to work great.

How would we enable the plugin on first SketchUp use using this method (EG, not using sketchup plugin installer) ? If it means enabling all plugins that that would be ok (not ideal) - is there a registry setting or something we could set a GPO up to always enable the plugin ?

Many thanks !

please help him too because we encounter the same problem

thomthom

Didn't notice this until now... :s
What does it mean that "material editor is always stuck on 1 material"? I'm really not sure what is being described here. Any screenshots? Sample model?

Ello, have you any thoughts about this, I hope it's clearer to understand, but pelase let know if I've not made it clear.

Kind Regards

No Worries,

Got it sorted, we wrote a little program to open your plugin's first, and also to not allow V-Ray plugin to open so that your excellent programs control it by default.

Cheers

Hi everybody,
I installed TTLib v2.9.9 and ttvray tools v2.2.1 (sketchup 8, vray for SU 2), I can't find the camera tools in vray camera tool toolbar. My question is whether camera tool is not available in vray for SU ver. 2.

Should be there... what does your toolbar look like?
