Vray for Maya - Ambient Occlusion greyed out?

[cliftonp]

So it took me quite a bit of searching on how to turn ambient occlusion on in the render globals for Vray in Maya.

I used this mel script: setAttr "vraySettings.aoOn" 1;

But now the question is why? Why does Vray grey it out? It seems like no matter what I turn off and on its always greyed out, is there a reason for this?

This was a bug; it's already fixed for newer builds. It could have been a subconscious thing though - I really dislike AO

Best regards,
