Proxys not displaying when re-opening a scene

[notamondayfan]

Hello,

I've just upgraded to 3.2, and Max 2016, and have a problem with proxys.

When I re-open a scene with proxys, the proxys don't display. I can select them by name. Once I've selected one, I have to click on the "preview from file" button to display the proxys.

At the moment I wrote a little script to speed this up

objs = getCurrentSelection()

for obj in objs do
(
$.display = 1
)

but it's still annoying and not right. I've searched and can't see anyone else with this issue.

Cheers,
Dean

What was the V-Ray version of the original file? I tried creating a scene with old V-Ray and 3ds max version but everything worked fine with 3.2 and max 2016.

Yes it was originally created in Vray 2, and Max 2014.

Would it be possible to send an example scene to: support@chaosgroup.com

only for the protocol, we had these issues too. possible old projects, maxdesign2015 vray??. you had to select them first...

same here,
3.2 and max 2015

Probably the issue is related to the new proxy display options added in the latest service pack. We will double check that.

Meanwhile you can change the Display type for all proxy objects at ones using max script:
- Select all of the proxies in the scene
- in Max listener type: $.display = 0 for an example

Would it be possible to send us an example file, because the one we already have here doesn't reproduce the issue. Also it was originally reported for V-Ray for 3DS Max 2016.

I just did the following test:
*) In Max 2015 / V-Ray 2.5 crated a scene with several proxy objects.
*) Then I opened the file in Max 2015 and 2016 / V-Ray 3.2 and everything was correct.
So it would be good to have a scene.

i had a scene with one max-xrefscene object. the proxies did not show up. even if i selected them they did not show. i had to "browse" the path for every proxyobject-meshfile (that was quite the right one and accessable) and had to "open" it again then it showed up the proxy.with every new loading it was the same...if i wanted to see i had to load again.
then i merged the xrefscene into the file, saved the file, loaded it again and all the proxys showed up.that was reproduceable.

maybe that helps

I suppose you don't keep the original scene?

Best regards,

We will let you know when we have some updates on that regard.

I am also having the same problem, below is my quick fix script:

for i in $VRayProxy* do i.display = 0

Note: change the number to 3 if you want them to preview with faces.

Yes, changing the display mode will help until we manage to fix the problem.
