      As titles
      I work as interior designer and I used sketchup+vray to show my ideas
      I found it quiet difficult to adjust or manage my material with default UI when models growth

      For examples
      I used black for table and chair, naming black_metal 1 & chair_black
      When I finally confirmed material, I have to changed it to same drawing code in CAD materiel list
      such as MT-01 represent metal material no.01; PT-02 represent painting no.02

      But I can only see two black square in default material UI
      I cant make more tags or classification
      Materials sometime duplicate with different name

      Is there any plugins look like layer panels or layer managers but for material

      I can use folders to manege my materials

      <Default>
      -165fwsdf <-materiel come with models from others
      -dsader

      <Metal> <-folder with custom name
      -MT-01 <- materiel I create or re-named
      -MT-02
      #table#kitchen

      <Wood>
      -PL-05

      or maybe put in folders with group/component name ?

      <Table> <- group name
      -MT-02 <- material used in this group
      -PT-01
      -PL-05

      (Thx for your patience and help )
