The V-Ray Proxy Display Switcher is a compact MAXScript utility designed to help 3ds Max users quickly manage the viewport display mode of all V-Ray Proxy objects in a scene. Whether you're optimizing viewport performance or reviewing detailed geometry, this tool lets you switch between bounding box, preview mesh, and full mesh modes with a single click.

It supports both older and newer versions of V-Ray (by detecting either display or viewportMode properties), ensuring compatibility across different setups.

This script is completely free to use. If you'd like to support the author, you can purchase the extended license!

🛠️ How to Use:

1. Load the script into 3ds Max using the MAXScript Editor or drag-and-drop the .ms file into the viewport.

2. A small dialog will appear titled "V-Ray Proxy Display".

3. In the dialog:

   • Click “Display Bounding Box” to set all V-Ray Proxies to bounding box mode (mode 0) for best performance.

   • Click “Display Preview Faces” to switch proxies to preview geometry (mode 1) for medium detail.

   • Click “Display Full Mesh” to view proxies at full resolution (mode 4) — useful for close-up reviews.

4. After clicking a button, the script will update all V-Ray Proxy objects and show a message with how many were affected.
