Dragging Vrscene file in Sketchup viewport

[Mousa_SA]

Hello,

Currently, if the Vrscene file is dragged in SketchUp Viewport, the vrscene is imported as a SketchUp model. Usually the vrscene files contain high-poly geometries that slowdown SketchUp and increase the file size, so dragging the vrscene in Sketchup Viewport and keeping it as a vrscene link (as default option) will give a smoother workflow in most cases.

When you import vrscene to the sketchup, it's imported as a vray proxy, so you can control the amount of the faces that will be shown in the sketchup. This will make sketchup viewport more smooth.

Thank you for your comment fprpic. Just want you to know that this post is about somthing elese, and when that is implemented you gonna like it.

SketchUp counts drag & dropping a file in its viewport as an Import action. If the dragged file is a vrscene, then the VRScene to SKP import will be triggered (https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/...Scene+Importer). This is intended behavior.
To import vrscene files as self-contained proxies with optimized previews stick to using the Import Proxy toolbar button (or alternatively Extensions > V-Ray > V-Ray Objects > Import Proxy or V-Ray Scene).

Kind regards,
Peter

Thank you for the clarifying Peter. Maybe we could have an option to switch between the generated geometry from dropping a vrscene file the viewport (SKP or self contained proxy) , currently dropping dropping a vrscene file inside 3d Max viewport works as as self-contained proxies, so it would be useful to have the same functionality .
