Photoshop like plugin available?
-
Hey Everyone. I've been searching high and low for a plugin that will list the materials/colors in sketchup with a sample of the material and then the name of the material next to it, similar to the option in Photoshop (see attachment). Is this possible? I have a better time keeping track of my colors if I can see both, not just little swatch samples. It seems the materials easily end up getting out of hand, especially when importing different models, and many similar colors could be combined if there was a more organized list with the color swatch as well (e.g., a gray stone and gray walkway could be the same if you want the material to have the same qualities in renderings).

Well, never tried it, but this seems able to do what you're asking for and much more of course.

That's close, and actually a pretty cool plugin. But I'd like the list attribute with the color swatch to be part of the SketchUp Materials Window that pops up. That way I can select from the list the correct material by name while I'm adding color to parts of the model. The Material Maintenance window that pops up does not let you pick a color to add directly to the model, it's for consolidating and replacing colors, which will be useful too.
My need for this is partially due to the fact that I don't see certain colors well, so some look really similar to me. With the addition of the name to the color, it helps ensure that I'm picking the right "green" or "yellow" (or whatever material I need). I hope that explains it better?
