      On nearly all the models I create I make a swatch of the materials in the model, like this:

      Is there a way to roll this into a plugin? I imagine it would work like so:
      User activates plugin.
      User is prompted for a swatch size - (100mm, 1000mm, 4", 1', or whatever the user types).
      User clicks initial start point.
      Plugin recursively goes through models materials creating swatches 125% of selected size apart (25% gap between each)
      Entire palette of swatches is grouped.

      Possible feature:
      Create text label under swatch of material name.
