      Hi Bob, I have just done the same test with the current release version. 2.1.1 and it also worked. It would also help if you can send a screen shot so I can see which settings you used.

        For those that are interested here is a link to my call buffer implementation to get past the call synchronisation problem on a MAC.

        Works pretty well and fixes the last bug I had on the MAC. I will now tidy up and release the new version tomorrow.

          All of the fence originally had a transparent material. I changed them all to the chain-link fence material. I just used the default selections.

            Did you select the "Front Faces" and "Back Faces" check boxes at the bottom of the screen under "Apply to"? None of these are selected by default.

              Thank you for such a plug in. I notice that in the download page, there is still v1.0 icon with hyperlink, when you click it, it opens a blank error page...

              Anyway, I succeed to download by clicking little arrow but I just want you know about that v1.0 issue,

              Thanks again!

                Very glad you find it useful πŸ˜„

                The v1.0 is a "feature" of file attachment widget I use to upload the files. It specifies the version of the file, not the the application. As I only uploaded the .rbz file once file versuon is v1.0. As you say you have to click the little arrow to download the file.

                Unfortunately I cannot switch it off.

                Did the plugin work for you?

                  I have just released Version 2.2.0 of the plugin. It contains bug fixes for all known outstanding issues. I recommend that you upgrade as it contains a fix for the the key bug which can cause replacements to fail silently on larger models.

                  You can download it from the usual place.

                          Hey everybody, just a head's up.

                          I had just installed the Sefaira Concept Plugin (conceptual energy analysis in SU) on my system, and it completely broke Material Maintenance (both v2.2.0 & v2.1.1. I've tested it on several other machines and got the same result. When I try to load Material Maintenance, the screen and cursor flicker slightly as if it's trying to load, and then never do. It doesn't crash, it just can't load.

                          Just fyi,

                          Matt

                              I thought it might be something like it not being encased in its own namespace (I've been reading your blog a lot πŸ˜„ ), but 1. it's a .rbs, 2. I don't know enough to be able to diagnose anything like that.

                                I had occasion to use Material Maintenance again today: I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but got perfect results this time: a real jewel of a plug-in. πŸ‘ Many thanks for all your hard work.

                                    Thanks again for an amazing tool! One little suggestion for the next release if it isn't too much to ask: I'd find an "Invert Selection" for the check boxes to be a very helpful little tweak!

                                      I had first this thread opened over at Sketchup

                                      Link Preview Image
                                      [Q] Material Maintenance plugin - selecting various components but not the entire model

                                      Seems that the plugin is not further developed past the 2.2 version, but suppose it is highly used and thus would appreciate to be helped with selecting components but not the entire model. Maybe I just have a misconcept…

                                      favicon

                                      SketchUp Community (forums.sketchup.com)

                                      and there been advised that this plugin is not changing material in component instances but the definition and thus in this setting

                                      http://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/default/2412/a55e9cdc24fbe294.png

                                      all component instances are applied even if the instance is not selected. Which is not what I was hoping for - my aim is to change material setting in those 'selected' only.

                                      Wondering whether the author would be interested to develop an such an option, which I believe would be an enhancement to this the great plugin.

                                        would be nice if someone could contact the author, on the homepage there is no info whatsoever? (if i didnt oversee anything)

                                          seems that things stopped in 2012. Even the forum at the homepage seems abandoned http://www.keepingmyhandin.com/forum.

                                            would be a shame - its a great plugin with awesome ui and im sure the maker could contribute big time πŸ˜ƒ
