Installation

By default, the installation of V-Ray for Revit installs the ply2vrmesh tool in the folder C:\Program Files\Chaos\V-Ray\V-Ray for Revit\libraries\vrayappsdk\bin.

For versions prior to V-Ray 7, the default location is [Program Files]\Chaos Group\V-Ray\V-Ray for Revit\tools\



  • Surface colors can be visualized by applying a Vertex Color texture in the diffuse slot of the corresponding V-Ray Proxy object(s).
