Sketchup 7.1.6860 Pro
V-Ray plugin 1.48.66
Windows 7 ultimate
I have an issue where my changes to materials are not saved with the model. In other words when I reopen the model all the layers (reflection, bumpmap etc) in my materials are reset and aren't saved. Only the diffuse settings are kept.
I have tried the workarounds as suggested by others on the forum (for an earlier version of the plugin???, should these also work for the latest version?)
- by making changes to the material and then opening and closing the options window (also tried making a change in the options window before closing).
- I've tried to first create a sketchup material, and then making changes in the vray material editor (also with opening and closing the options window).
- saving out to a different file.
The material settings are lost for even the simplest model (in other words it never works for me). Luckily I save my materials as .vismat files and can re-import each material every time I (re)open the file. But it is quite frustrating to create a nice render (with a lot of materials) - only to discover when you reopen the file that all the material settings are lost.
All the visopt settings are saved with the model.
Is this a known issue? I'm sorry if this is something that commonly known in the community - i have tried everything that I could find in the forum.
Does anyone know a workaround for this version of Sketchup/plugin?
