Hello,  
I have some lights with the option to exclude certain objects because it generates a reflection that I don’t want, but when I sent it to the chaos cloud the reflection that was not supposed to appear is appearing, and rendering local does not appear.  
Thanks

Doesn’t seem to happen in a simple scene. Could you strip down the scene and send it via [the contact form](https://support.chaos.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)?

Here is the scene, I deleted the hdr and softbox maps of some lights for simplicity. 3ds Max 2023 vray 6 beta.

Thank you. The issue seems to occur whenever a VRayLight and VRayDome both exclude everything in the scene (or include nothing). I’ve logged the issue (internal bug-tracker id: VMAX-12373) for developer investigation. I’ve found a workaround, however: Simply include at least one object (any object will do. I tested with a sphere, which was outside the render view) in the list. Works on your setup as well, try it.

thanks, i’ll try to do that but in the original scene with all the elements i think each light has some element included or excluded.
