Hi,

You should be able to.
Can you share the example so I can take a look?

I've already tried to send it with the first message but the system locks the send of GH files...can I send it in another way?

I did it right now

I think the cones are on top of each other. Move one cone or try with a box and a cone.
Let me know if this is it or am I missing something.

Thank you!

Hi,
It won’t work this way. The second cluster contains a reference of the VGeo component from the first cluster, thus the instance ID is the same. V-Ray uses the component instance ids to generate the object names, that must be unique. In your case you have two different cluster components that yield with the same VGeo ID and hence the same name. The second one will simply be skipped by the exporter, since it thinks it has already been exported.
You can hide V-Ray components in clusters, but you must have unique V-Ray components in every cluster. e.g. it is not OK to copy and use clusters with V-Ray components in them.
