Actually I just noticed that right clicking produces this error

Error; #<LocalJumpError; unexpected return>
(eval);106;in `load'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb;270;in `call'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb;270

I think the problem is with Recurve? i'm getting all sorts of errors when I right click

Rich O Brien

Problem isn't Recurve as I've removed it....

Stop breaking things!

Rich O Brien

They call me Mr.Glass

thomthom

As a DIY quick-fix - change
if ents.respond_to?( :back_material )
to
if e.respond_to?( :back_material )

Rich O Brien

Sorted

Now I'll break something else

thomthom

Go'n run with scissors or something...

I like find this plugin very useful, especially the possibility to transfer the instance material to the faces inside the group or component, but that results in the backfaces also being painted. But sometimes I just want all the instance material gone as I sometimes accidentally assign a material to a group or component and later I can't find it any more. This is especially annoying if the material is not used any more in the rest of the model but remains in the material browser and doesn't get purged. I tried removing all backface materials after transferring the instance material but that resulted in also losing all backface materials I assigned intentionally. Is there a way to simply remove all instance materials?

Hello sr thomthom.
I think I'm doing something wrong or is there a bug in the plugin.
1 - Remove From Selection.
Error: # undefined local variable or <NameError: ents' method for TT::Plugins::MaterialTools:Module> C: / Program Files / Google / Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb: 270: in remove_all_from_selection '
/ Program Files / Google / Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb: 256: in each ' C: / Program Files / Google / Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb: 256: in remove_all_from_selection '
/ Program Files / Google / Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb: 62
add
Groups only erases materials or components. If you edit a component or group and select faces and edges were deleted material.
If I select faces or edges that are not in a group or component, the materials are not deleted.
If I select a group / component, which contains within groups / components nested, the materials are not deleted.
if I apply a material to a group / component and other material to the face that contains this group, only delete the material applied inside to the faces in the group / component

2 - Remove Specific Material
only works with colors. Textured materials does not work.
In addition, when shown the list of materials to remove, it only shows the name of the texture of the material, rather than the name of the material

is possible to solve this problem.
Thank you very much for your time

Is this the latest version 2.2.0?

if so it looks to me like you have some code 'missing' in the script - you haven't opened the .rb script with a wordprocessor and then saved or edited it with say Notepad.exe ??
Line #270 is actually about if e.respond_to?( :back_material ) while the offending error for ' ents' should occur earlier in line #260 where it first appears as parent.entities.each { |ents| or the next three lines #262/263/264 - so there's obviously something wrong here...
Try reinstalling the tool and come back...

tig thanks for your reply.
But reinstalling the plugin and the library. The plugin still generates the same error.
I use sketchup in Spanish, has something to do this?

I think we must wait for thomthom himself to reply.
As far as I can see you can't get that error with a correctly installed script

thomthom

I have an update for this in an unreleased version. I'll get it online soon.
