[REQ] Apply materials randomly...kind of

[Pixero]

Let's say I have a whole bunch of objects that I want to apply maybe five different materials too in a semi random way.
Let's also say I would like to have all five materials occur approximately the same amount of times.
Would that be doable?

You mean components and groups right?

For instance 5 copies of a component with 5 materials applied randomly to each?

And ask to Sdmitch : he made a random colors fill! (for me)

A speedy manual method with the random select above By TIG
A file with only the objects
Select All Objects : Select Random 0.20% : Fill Material 1 : Hide
Select All Objects : Select Random 0.25% : Fill Material 2 : Hide
Select All Objects : Select Random 0.33% : Fill Material 3 : Hide
Select All Objects : Select Random 0.50% : Fill Material 4 : Hide
Select All Objects : Fill Material 5
Unhide all

Not a big deal!

Not a click of a button either...

I have used 20+ materials to randomize on wooden beams, wood planks, wooden windows and façade pannels before... It's a stupid work to have just to make a render look good and I hope I'm doing it anymore.
