Chaos group told me that the importing and placement of proxies is a bug they are working on. I was able to work around it by creating a new file, creating a new proxy and then copy and pasting it into my model.

After that I had huge problems rendering. The Rendering spawner just would not start or respond, or the rendering would just stop in the middle somewhere. Then I noticed on one render that got to about 50% that I could see a pattern on something that shouldn't have had one. It was my displacement map! When I turned my displacement maps into bump maps it rendered without issue. Hopefully this is something Chaos will address in the future because the displacement looks much better than the bump.

Hello,

I am new to working with Proxies. On Friday I created a few proxies of a gabion and built a wall with them. Unfortunately, I lost that file. I recreated that same file today, but my file is huge! Each proxy file is 1.8M and my file with the wall is 13M. Also, I had to copy the proxy from the original that i had created. When I use the import function, the move tool appears and tells me to place the proxy, but no matter where I click nothing shows up. If I go to the component window afterwards, I can see the proxy, but I have the same issue when I try to place it.

Thanks in advance for any help!
