Any command or procedure to do that, on rhino 5 or 6, thank you very much!

Hi,

You can navigate to the Material Properties Rhino panel and just uncheck the Plug-in checkbox.  
The Rhino material options will appear and the connection to the V-Ray shader will be broken.  
The basic material properties like color, reflection and even some of the textures used will be preserved.

Hi Konstantin,

I used this option at Rhino 5 too and I miss the plugin checkbox after I uncheck the option. In the past, I was able to adjust the Rhino material for other needs and enable the plugin connection again. So, I got the needed look for both needs. Could it be possible to get this functionality back please?

All this will be affected by changes to the material workflow that are currently being developed. Although at this point I cannot yet confirm the final workflow design I would like to assure this thread will be taken into consideration.

Kind regards,
