Hello everyone,

I need urgent help!

I have a client presentation two days ago and I have a problem with Vray for sketchup.

I hope someone can help me. I have been looking for a solution to my problem for three hours already.

I am using Sketchup 2024.

I installed Vray, annual solo license, on sketchup.

For information: I have already used Vray on sketchup and everything worked very well.

now I took a Vray license, I downloaded and installed the license on Sketchup.

The license is active.

When I want to open V-Ray, by clicking on an icon in the Vray toolbar, Sketchup closes immediately! Big bug.

I have already tried about ten times, especially with an empty file, and the problem occurs again.

Can’t open VRay in sketchup without crashing Sketchup.

Does anyone have any idea of ​​a solution?

Thanks!

Vray 6?

When vray7 was released, there were reports of similar crashes. Looks like chaos didn’t release an update fixing it?

J’ai téléchargée la version 6 et ça semble fonctionner ! En tous cas Sketchup ne coupe pas d’un coup quand j’ouvre VRay. Je vais travailler un peu pour voir si ça tient la route.

Merci en tous cas !!!

De toute évidence ce n’est pas viable sur le long terme, c’est une rustine.

Mais en attendant qu’ils publient un correctif qui touche à ton problème, la v6 fera le job et tu pourras atteindre tes deadlines 🙂
