Can't change V-ray options.

[Fuzz]

Have a proplem on my home PC. Sketchup 8 installed + V-Ray1.48.91 (the same thing with latest 1.49). System - windows XP Pro SP3. The problem is that i can't change any parameter in v-ray options where the default value is "0,0" (ex: GI color - 0,0 and BG color - 0,0 in ENVIRONMENT - can only type "0" and ","in this place and UP and DOWN arrows didn't work as well). What could it be, any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Can't change V-ray options.

Why you are using that version? That is a very old version and also we never published that build to a public.

You said that you have SU 8 and VfSU 1.48.91. This version is old and was not published to the public. If you need help with the beta version, you should post in the beta area.
Are you a beta tester?

The same thing with the DEMO version that asgvis provided "VRayForSketchUp-1.48.89-windows-installer"..

Hi,

I have the same problem, the options/parameters not able to change and it only applies to the default "0.0" values. It automatically selects the value and then the only value you can type in is 0, as Fuzz already mentioned.

It is kinda weird because you can change other, non 0.0, parameters with every number you wish for.

Had this problem with both the 1.48.89 and the new 1.49.01, used in Sketchup 6 and 7 on my laptop with Windows XP professional.

Also see this other topic: http://forum.asgvis.com/index.php?topic=8160.0

I hope this is a bug that you easily can fix?

Kind regards,

Dave

Re: Can't change V-ray options.

what's in the error log after you close SketchUp?

I think the issue is related to language settings on your computer. We try to detect the language used by the host application, and then use the correct number formatting for that language. If there's a problem with that detection, it's possible to have an issue where 0,0 is considered a text value rather than a numerical value. The error log should hopefully show us if this is the case.

Re: Can't change V-ray options.

Don't think the errorfile will be of any help, because I cannot change the value of the parameters. The value 0.0 stays 0.0 or 0.

The errorfile:

I'm using the english version of Windows, but the Dutch language is selected for the keyboard, I guess. Changing it to English doesn't fix anything btw. How can I manually change the language detected if this should solve the problem?

Re: Can't change V-ray options.

Hey guys,

We finally tracked this problem down this afternoon. This happens when you set your "Decimal symbol" to be the same character as the "Digit Grouping symbol" in the Windows Regional Settings > Additional Settings > Numbers page. If both of them are set to be '.' then the number 1000.5 would be shown as 1.000.5 which is invalid when our code tries to work with it.

If you have this issue see if that is the case in your settings - make sure that one of those symbols is a comma and one of them is a period - it doesn't matter which is which, so long as they aren't both the same character.

This topic has been made a sticky topic so people can find the solution to this issue quickly. Below are two of our knowledge base articles on the topic:
