Position of the V-Ray meassages window will not be stored closing the session

[3d-laboratory]

Every new session shows the upcoming V-Ray messages window on the same position. Every time I have to move it to another position, but with every new start it has the old position where it disturbes me. How to set or save a desired position of that window?

Hi you could dock it somewhere. The V-Ray log window can be docked to the 3ds max's panels or within the VFB.

Here is how to undock it from the VFB:


Here is how you bring it back to the VFB if you have docket it within the 3ds max's panels:


If you have it floating the easiest way to bring it back to the VFB is by clicking in the empty space that is left in the log tab:





Is this you question or you actually have it docked but after you save and reopen the scene, the V-Ray log window is no longer in the place you have docked it?

Hello Vladimir,
thank you for your help. May it be that the log window is different from the VRay messages window? Please see my scrennshot. In the VFB window I have no Log part on the right side. But when I click on the "Show log" button on the lower right of the VFB window the "V-Ray messages" window pops up. But different to the Log of your screenshots I have no time stamps in front of the rows. Also when I move the "VRay messages" window to the MAX panels it doesn´t dock there. My MAX Version is 2021.3.2 Security Fix and VRay 5.update 1.2

Hi you are correct.
The difference comes from the fact that I am showing you how things are in VRay 5, update 2.2 (latest version) . In your version (VRay 5, update 1.2) the VRay Log (messages) window does not have the upgrade and can not be docked.
If you would like to update to the latest version of VRay here is the link - https://download.chaos.com/?platform=49&product=47

Thank you very much!

Thank you once again, Vladimir! As I had no time because of high workload I didn´t note the one sentence regarding this update in the feature list: "Faster UI loading time for most commonly used materials." And this is really a great improvement! This is now as quick as with the Physical Materials in 3dsMAX. And also the Render Setup window comes up 10 times faster. Great job, Vladimir and Choas Group!
