Display proxies as boxes

Don’t know if this is a question, a gripe, or a request…

Is there a way to make proxies appear as boxes? I know you can do it on a proxy-by-proxy basis. But ideally, I’d like to set a layer or XREF to display as boxes to speed things up.

Any way to do this?

Isn’t the [bounding box - proxy option] working just as u want ?

This should work. Just type in the maxscript listener.


for i in (getclassinstances vrayproxy) do i.display = 0

If I understand correctly, you are both referring to modifications to the display parameter of the object. (Thanks for the maxscript clip BTW :slight_smile: )

A bit more on my situation…
I have a master scene. I have a number of other scenes XREF’d in, including one that contains terrain and trees. When I’m in the terrain scene, I like seeing the proxies. It helps with placement, etc. However, when I’m in the master scene which is essentially for camera placement, lighting, etc., it would be great if the vrayproxies would take the cue from the XREF scene dialog (Display Options: Box). Then, moving around the master file with oodles of proxies would be much easier. Does that make sense?

Likewise, I don’t think that vrayproxies respond to the “Display as box” flag in ‘Layer Properties’. Are either of these possible?
