VFB icon scaling?

[hachejay]

Hello,

Is there an option I'm missing to change the size of the icons on the VFB window? They are very small on a 4k monitor and don't change size with windows scaling. In fact on anything above 150% for me the text of the VFB actually becomes somewhat illegible.

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

It is possible to change the scaling with the environmental variable VRAY_VFB_UI_SCALE. You could try setting a value of 2 or 3.

On a Windows machine, 'Environmental Variables' are created through the 'Advanced system settings' window.

On OSX it is not so user-friendly, so you could download the attached archive, unzip the file within and place it in /Library/LaunchAgents . Afterwards, restart the computer for the change to take effect.

That worked great, thank you very much!

VRAY_VFB_UI_SCALE is not listed. Should I add it to the list and input it's value?

[hachejay]

Yup, just add a new environment variable with the name VRAY_VFB_UI_SCALE and set it's value to what you want. (2 worked fine for me.)

Doesn't work for me. Always small icon. Please help me!

Could you please tell what is your V-Ray's full version number?
Is the environment variable set for the user account used when opening SketchUp?
What value have you used?

Kind regards,
Peter

- Sketchup pro 2016 with vray 2.0
- Yes
- I have used 2 and 3

This environment variable will affect only V-Ray 3 builds. I'm afraid there is no valid workaround for V-Ray versions 2.0 or older.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi,

I'm working on a Windows machine with Rhino 6 VRAY 3 and a 3840 x 2160 resolution setting. My interface for VRAY is too small to click on (see attached). I downloaded the VRAY VFB UI SCALE and added a new environmental variable with a variable of 2. There were no changes. Am I supposed to drop the .plst file in a specific location or somehow run it?

Thanks,
Julian

Hi Jcallanta

Kindly note that the .zip attached to this thread is for OSX.

Since you are on a Windows machine, it is only necessary to create a new 'Environment Variable' with a 'Variable Name' = VRAY_VFB_UI_SCALE and set the 'Variable value' to 2 or 3
