No Maxcript experience whatsoever, but looking at the script I think you should check your ( and )

I think at least you need another ) at the end of the script ?
And no space between vray and mesh ?

Just highlight doVRayMeshExport() and drag it to a tool bar, it will make a button there automaticaly.

Or if you want to assign it to a hotkey, quiad, whatever and have it sorted together with the other VRay scripts

---------

macroscript VrayProxyExporter
category:“VRay”
(
dovraymeshexport()
)

---------

thats all

this is a little overkill, but it was a pain to get working as a newb.. so thought I’d share :slight_smile:

You can just edit the things in the ---------------------------------'s to do whatever..

Generic Toggleable floater dialog, (Origionally made because the display floater is a bit too bulky..) saves where you leave it too in the 3dsmax.ini file (You can remove that if you want just by commenting or deleting the on vsaiDemoRoll moved and the on vsaiDemoRoll open functions.
