--- title: "Proxy Scene" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/VSKETCHUP/109778720/Proxy%20Scene" format: markdown --- This page provides information on the V-Ray Proxy Scene Geometry object.  ## **Overview** --- V-Ray Scene (.vrscene) is a file format which allows for assets, such as geometry, materials, and lights, to be shared together between all platforms that run V-Ray. A Proxy Scene object is the result of importing a .vrscene file into your scene from the V-Ray Import Proxy option. Once imported, its parameters are available in the Asset Editor's Geometry tab. V-Ray Scene materials and geometry are non-editable and lights can only be toggled on and off.  > ⚠️ VRayScene proxies do not respond to changes during Interactive rendering. Any transformations or parameter changes of the proxy during Interactive rendering may cause unexpected behavior. This also applies when the V-Ray Live Link is switched on. ## **UI Paths** --- ## **Exporting a V-Ray Scene**> Macro (anchor) --- You can export either the whole scene or a selection of objects as a .vrscene file. > ⚠️ Exporting multiple objects as a .vrscene proxy is possible only when they are grouped together or included into a single component. ### **Exporting Through the Asset Editor** --- ### **Exporting Through the Toolbar Button** --- ## **Importing a V-Ray Scene** --- ## **VRayScene Parameters** --- ## **Animation** --- ## **Notes** --- - Any external assets associated with the imported *.vrscene* file need to be accessible (have valid paths) for proper render results. Such assets may include image, .*ies or *.*vrmesh *files. Alternatively, the assets need to reside in the same folder as the .*vrscene *file. - Certain effects, such as displacement, are not supported for VRScene files exported using V-Ray 3.6 or earlier. - Internally, SketchUp always operates in inches. Therefore, Proxy scenes dimensions are always set at a scale of 1 inch per original unit. - Memory usage can be viewed from the [Stats section](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VSKETCHUP/pages/109784991/V-Ray+Frame+Buffer#Stats) of the new V-Ray Frame Buffer. - The Hide Widget hides a Proxy Scene from the viewport only when set to Bounding Box and Point (Origin) preview type.
