Turn off backfaces/two sided material assignment

Mra · 19 Oct 2011, 22:46

Hi there,

One of the single biggest most frustrating issue with sketchup is how it works with twosided backes/backfaces.

Is there a way to disable two sided material assignments? There is hardly a use for it in my workflow and I find it frustrating when dealing with windows/glass as one side can be white and the other glass/transparent material.

If there is no way to disable this, is there a script out there that will assign a material to both sides of the face throughout the model?

Thanks.

You can't disable the two-sidedness of faces but I believe there is a plugin that will apply materials to both faces at once. Check the Plugins index via the button at the top of the forum.
