vray ipr refresh objects

[Arch.Hany]

sometimes when you start an ipr session and add geometry to the scene it wont appear in the ipr even if you pressed the "refresh interactive rendering" button

you must stop and then start ipr again

i think a button that reprapare objects or update to what's already prepared would be a good feature

Hello,

Wouldn't it be even better if those objects appeared without having to press buttons
If you could share a scene and/or steps to reproduce the objects that don't appear - it would help us fix the problem.

Best regards,

Well I've been messing about with IPR, creating objects or importing them and have not encountered this problem yet They appear instantly and I've never had to refresh the scene or have to stop and restart IPR. Strange.. Perhaps the version of Max and Version of V-Ray you are using and what geometry you are attempting to add (is it in max format etc) would be helpful information as well as supplying a test scene, where this can be reproduced, would be very helpful

I am using Max 2014 and the very latest V-Ray Next update 2.1

[Arch.Hany]

am astonished that no one of you encountered this problem before
i attached the max file for you test out

am using 3ds max 2020 and the last vray next 2.1

just open the file fire up an ipr session then select the circle object and activate the extrude modifier
in my case it wont show up until i copy it

Guess I have never used the extrude modifier, when running IPR.. You are correct, it does not show up, while it is in creation mode, nor after exiting creation mode. Refreshing IPR doesn't work, though as you point out stopping the render then restarting it, the object shows up.. Also converting to editable poly, while IPR is running, also makes it show up.

Then again, when I say creating objects, I mean more of a create the object, then modify it while in IPR, like say, creating the basic shape and tweaking it.. and also importing ready made objects, like props.

I guess objects showing up while being created this way, should work, since creating a box, sphere works and modifying an object, via vertex, polygon etc also works..

Thing is I don't know why it would not show up, since it is physically there in the viewport (or is it)

Thanks for the scene and the report.
I also confirm that it doesn't show up. This happens because the circle itself has "Enabled in Renderer" turned off when we start IPR. In that case we only monitor the circle for changes to its renderable property and we miss the extrude modifier.
The issue is logged in our system (internal number VMAX-3945) and we'll write back here when it is fixed.
