Hello everyone,

I’m using the 2024 version of sketchup and the 6.20.03 version of Vray. I’ve been with some bugs using this version of Vray. How can I download an older version? When I click the download button in Trimble area, it automatically begins to download the newer one, there is no option of downloading an older version of Vray.

Older versions of V-Ray won’t work with SketchUp 2024. The latest update was specifically to allow that.

You can always download versions of v-ray from Chaos.  
However as @Anssi says, the latest version is the only version that works with 2024

I have the Sketchup Studio that already has Vray in the package, so I don’t know if I can download the vray straight from Chaos.

That’s why I suggested you get in touch with Chaos Group’s Customer Support. As was pointed out, though, older versions of Vray won’t work with SketchUp 2024 anyway.
