[Plugin] V-Ray Tools

thomthom

Updated to make Load on Demand compatible with the new VfSU release.

When using VfSU 1.48.66 or newer - you can now enable or disable VfSU from Preferences -> Extensions in SketchUp.
But that will enable VfSU for all SU sessions. If you want to enable VfSU in just one session then use V-Ray Toys->Start V-Ray.

thanks thom, for the new release of vray i have to overwrite the old file right?

thomthom

you're talking about V-Ray Toys or V-Ray for Sketchup?

I'm running 1.48.83 vfsu on my mac and vray toys doesn't work. Under Tools, there is a check by Load Vray on demand, but vfsu still loads. ?? any ideas? thanks! I used the great plug to prevent the extra time it takes SU to load. I miss that now.

I'm running 1.48.89 vfsu, and it still working fine for me, I also experienced the same problem when first using this tool.
You just have to click out the VRay Toolbar first, then restart the SketchUp

thomthom

hm.... maybe it's not finding the location of VfSU on OSX properly... any error messages in the Ruby Console?

troyhome

I'll try that- thanks!
update:

I opened SU, clicked on the Vray Toolbar and quick SU. I reopened SU and no change
What did i miss?

update:
I thought it was solved, but the toolbar was just hiding...i thought it still took a long time to load SU...

troyhome

ThomThom, no errors reported...

thomthom

You have the console open before you click Load V-Ray ?

troyhome

No, i just opened the Ruby Consol after SU started and didn't see anything.
There is permanently a check beside Load Vray, if that gives you any hints... I try to uncheck it and nothing happens.

I'm using it with SU8...
What exactly is not working for you? Error messages? No menus? VfSU won't start?

No error massages and menus is appear as usual, but it did not operate properly, i mean, nothing happen, there is no any VRay toys effect afterwards and VRay is still allready ON when i open the SU8 and not "on demand" like it should be

i've put "VRayToys folder" and VRayToys.rb in SU8 plugin folder "\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins"
i open the SU8, turn off the VRay toolbar and i quit SU8
i open the SU8 again (this way is working when i'm still SU7) and then nothing happen...

sorry if my explanation somewhat confusing

Start VRay on VRay toys not active

VRay for sketchup and VRay tools still appear, even when the VRay toys alredy operate

Did you just close the toolbar, or did you disable VfSU from Window > Preferences > Extensions ?
You need to do the latter.

You need to do the latter.

yes, I've done both ways...
Finally, I tried to remove the VRayToys first, then put it back...
Weird, VRayToys can work again like it should
But, when i try to Load VRay, it takes 15-20 minute to Appear
Is there something i done wrong? please help...
