            Hello,

            I have problem installing this tool..

            so after i downloaded.. I placed the "material tool rb " into the sketchup-> plugin forlder

            and so when i opened a new sketchup.. i still don't see a new plugin for material tool...

            could you tell me how to set this up after i download it???

            Don't I just need to copy and paste into the sketchup- plugin folder?

            and I am using sketchup 8pro version too....

              Notice it's an RBZ - not RB file. See this thread on how to install RBZ files: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42315#InstallRBZ

              (I'd forgotten to add the How To link for this download which I usually have)

                    I encountered problems when installing [Plugin] Material Tools (2.6.0). with the following error message:
                    "material tools requires a newer version, 2.7.0, of TT_lib"
                    I also use TT_Lib2-2.9.0, but still error...I doubt Google SketchUp 8 version is too old ...

                    Can you help me?

                    Thank so much.

                      Did you have an old version of TT_Lib2 installed?
                      Do you have files that have gotten stuck in the VirtualStore?

                        Thank Thomthom...! I understand that...
                        I have removed old TT_lib and instal new TT_lib2 of you.
                        I have now used material tools and thank you so much.

                          Hi.
                          I had this error while running 'instance material to faces'
                          With and without geometry selected.

                          Error; #<NameError; undefined local variable or method `selection' for TT;;Plugins;;MaterialTools;Module>
                          C;/Users/ramiro velazco/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/tt_material_tools/core.rb;149;in `instance_materials_to_faces'
                          C;/Users/ramiro velazco/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/tt_material_tools/core.rb;40;in `block in <module;MaterialTools>'
                          -e;1;in `call'
                          
                          

                          I solved it(I think?) by adding

                          selection = model.selection 
                          

                          in core.rb right after line 148

                          Thanks for a wonderful tool.

                                  Thanks Thomas!

                                  I love the plug in, and very often use it.

                                  I had some suggestion on improving this plugin:

                                  All the listed functions such as "remove from all faces and edges" and "all textures" would be nice to be applied to SELECTION rather than in the entire model.

                                  Thanks!

                                    I installed the plugin and everything seems to work great, except the "List Textures in Console" function. It opens the console but there is no list.

                                    What am I missing?

                                    Thanks for a awesome plugin!

                                      What version of SU?
                                      You might want to open the console before invoking that function if you are on an older SU version.

                                          It does not have a toolbar icon, if that is what you mean.
                                          It will show up in the menu however.

                                          Look under:
                                          Extensions > Material Tools.

                                            Thanks for a great plugin thomthom. As is mentioned on Extension Warehouse, "List Textures in Console" generates a blank console window. Is this just a SU2018 thing or are other folks experiencing that issue?
