Hi. I installed Vray 1.6 for SketchUp 2016. There were no problems during installation and it was installed successfully as far as I know. However, when I opened SketchUp, the tools are not there and when I open Tools \> Preferences \> Extensions, it’s missing too.

I hope you can help me. Thank You.

V-Ray 1.6? Isn’t that version a bit… well, old? Why don’t you install **[the newest 3.4 version](https://www.chaosgroup.com/vray/sketchup)** (undergoing free beta testing right now) or the **[stable 2.0 version](https://www.vray.com/vray-for-sketchup/buy-vray-for-sketchup.html)**?
