Do you have Vray 1.49.01? If so, in the Vray Material Editor, right-click "Scene Materials" in the Materials List and choose "Sort Materials Alphabetically."

yes i have vray 1.49..thanks a lot..!

On my version of Sketchup than the materials browser does this automatically. Any more info would be helpful.

Cheers,

I meant the vray material browser.

thanks gaieus,and did u just disable me from pming.?I apologize man!

Is it possible that the section cut lines show up as thin and not thick black lines??

please someone come with an alternative man...

is there a way to arrange names of materials alphabetically in material editor [of VRAY] It is very tedious and cumbersome to search for names of each and every material placed in a haphazard order.

Search for my SectionCutFace ...

section cut face doesn't work for vray for sketchup

My SectionCutFace tool does work... BUT because you can't export the SKP's SectionPlanes to external renderers you can't see the cut's faces, since the rest of the model is then in the way ! [It works fine in a SKP render though!!]

Is there a way I can use sectioncutface for vray? I don't want to use zorro since it will take a lot of time for pseudo destroying my model for this plugin.

in older version of vray [vray for sketchup 6], there used to be a box in which a blue filling space indicated the render progress. But in the latest versions, it's missing. Is there anyway to enable it?

Why not!?

of course artisan should be free..if a more advanced thing is for free then a basic version shouldn't come at a price...

downloaded Sculptris. It is much more advanced than artisan and moreover it's free . Wonder why artisan is $39

Which is the most stable version of Vray?

Is version 8 the most stable version SketchUp. And why do the makers of sketchup haven't been still able to the toolbar crash problem. they just added the restore toolbars option, the toolbar position still goes haywire many times.

my colleagues are using version 1. what about their problems.?

They also have crashes?

When you say "version 1" - do you mean the very first version where materials weren't even automatically synced?

yeah..

@thomthom said:

You're using an old, very buggy, version.
Latest version is 1.49.01. http://software.asgvis.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=182&Itemid=480

In general, when you experience problems with a software, it's best to ensure you are running the latest available version before further troubleshooting.

my colleagues are using version 1. what about their problems.? and btw is it a free upgrade for me??

Just like components make the model lighter. Is there any way vray renders become quicker by making vray know that there are "clones" of objects so that it doesn't waste time for processing each of them?

I had a sketchup site model of a various types housing clusters with varying heights of 15 floors. I have Intel Core2Quad Processor with 4 GB RAM. I have sketchup pro 8 and vray 1.48.66. everytime I hit the render button, vray processes the scene for sometime, after that sketchup crashes. The model is 18.6 mb in size. I have rendered larger models upto 28 mb in sketchup but never faced that problem. Maybe there's a lot of detailing in this. I have made groups and components. In fact all the people in my class are facing similar problems. No one is able to render a site model of their housing projects in sketchup or revit. Even processors like i5 with 6 gb ram are not able to handle the load. Everyone has planned for undrendered views only. Is there a way out of this problem??
