API - Import Material Using Ruby Console

[henriqueb]

Hi guys, I'm studying the new V-Ray for SketchUp API and creating a plugin to add my materials, but I couldn't import it using the parameter.

scene.import('C:/User/Download/brick.vrmat', as_is: true)

I'm new in this area and I don't know if I need to use some module or definition to make it work. I appreciate the help.

Thanks

Hi henriqueb ,

For some script operations you have to call VRay::refresh_ui at the end of the script.
This way the Asset Editor will refresh and show the new scene content.

You can try the following:

scene= VRay::Context.active.scene
scene.import('C:/User/Download/brick.vrmat', as_is: true)
VRay::refresh_ui

Regards,
Konstantin

Thank you so much Konstantin, it worked correctly, but VRayMtl doesn't open and the textures don't load, do you have any tips? Thanks

Hi henriqueb ,

I've consulted with the devs about this and there seems to be a better way to write this script:

scene = VRay::Context.active.scene
scene.change { scene.import('C:/User/Download/brick.vrmat') }

If it still fails, please share some more detailed information on what you do and what the end result is.
You can share the material you're testing with as well.
