[Plugin] Material Tools

Instance Material to Faces paints materials also to the back faces. Apply Color Adjustments bugsplats SketchUP when nothing is selected. The names are somehow misleading because this tools work on a selection - maybe to put them on the right click menu when click on the selection or add "selected" to the name.
WinXp SP3
SketchUP 8

Yes - by design to preserve the same visual appearance.

It doesn't use the selection at all - it processes all colour adjusted textures in the model. Got a sample model where this occurs? I've not seen any bugplats with this. Can't reproduce it either.

Not all work on the selection.

Itis a clean file - nothing there

thomthom · 22 Oct 2010, 10:49

I tried with a completely empty file - no splat.

Admin or user account?

And you said it does this if the selection was empty?
It doesn't always do this?

So it crashes all the time? No exceptions?

dedmin · 22 Oct 2010, 11:19

As far as I tried - yes.

thomthom · 22 Oct 2010, 11:19

Ok - I'll see if I can make a debug version to detect where it splats.

Great plugin thomthom, nice work, only wish remove by selection would remove the materials applied to faces and groups/components inside selected groups/components, and components in selection are made unique.

Actually I just noticed that right clicking produces this error

Error; #<LocalJumpError; unexpected return>
(eval);106;in `load'
