Macro for changing display of multiple vray proxies

Hi Fajar,

in my scene i have a different proxies, not istances. when I click show as preview or bounding box it changes all of them. when I select the proxies i want to change it still changes all of them, even if I click only on selected.

thanks again.

what do you mean by that ? are those proxy instanced or not ? if its instanced then theres should be no abnormal behavior ? could you give me sample scene or video/gif ?

or try to add this line

local allArray = #()
freeTheArr allArray -- add this line
		--case objs of 

-- on "setDisplayVrayObject" function

Thanks for trying my code

Hope this help

copy all those code in the notepad , save it to "your file name.mcr" and place it on "3ds max install dir\MacroScripts" ex : "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2014\MacroScripts" if you use max lower than that you ask me to put it where.

Hi Fajar,

thank you so much for your respond, and thanks for the script!
it works well, but just one thing doesn't work, when I click only selected proxies it's still changing all the proxies.
do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
