      I downloaded again - the latest update from the SketchUcation PluginStore and this time its worked. It definitely didn't come in the first time. I'm up and running now ! whoop whoop

      So I've opened it for 30 second and i' already asking about features!!!
      Could we have the ability to group materials together in folders and see these folders in material browser? this was a great help in flex tools

      Material Question
      on a side note - do you know why i can't have more than 1 material with the same settings but different names? so
      Floor_Black (0,0,0)
      &
      Curtain_Black(0,0,0)

      or how different these colours need to be to recognised as different from each other....
      So,

      Floor_Black (0,5,0)
      &
      Curtain_Black(0,0,0)

        I don't know yet if a feature of this kind will be implemented.

        This looks like a SketchUp bug or limitation... You should create a topic about this issue.

          What's new in 1.0.4 version?

          • Texture Haven materials catalog has been extended to 198 entries.
          • Downloaded textures are cached during 1 month... This accelerates re-import of concerned materials and saves bandwidth.

          Download latest Material Browser plugin from the SketchUcation PluginStore.

              That's a really great plugin, I had some trouble getting it to work also: I had to disable a bunch of plugins for it to work, so there is a conflict somewhere.

              For reference, here is the error I was getting

                HI. I just installed this and only get errors when SU starts.

                A lot of errors all to do with this: 2021/Tools/RubyStdLib/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:72:in `require'

                I installed a few of your other plugins, all working fine.

                Anything you can suggest to fix this?

                Thanks

                Z

                  Why are there no replies to posts here? The extension does not work as I posed above.

                    Hello,

                    Can You share a list of plugins you had to disable? I got the same errors. I would love to use this plugin, searching materials by name is so obvious it should be implemented in native tools of SketchUp, and this add on do so much more!

                    Thank You.
                    Maciej.

                      Hi everyone!

                      Sorry, I wasn't subscribed to current topic. I don't have conflicts on my computer. Try to disable all other plugins and re-enable them one by one. Yes I know it's a tedious task but I see no other way...

                        I just published 1.0.6 version. It should fix "TypeError: superclass mismatch for class StreamableStream" issue. Please upgrade if you have this issue. Then, tell me if it works.

                          A SketchUp 2021 user reported that Material Browser v1.0.6 conflicts with SketchUcation ExtensionStore. You can't enable these plugins at same time because they use the same Zip library.
                          I'm looking for a solution...

                            1.0.7 version fixes "TypeError: superclass mismatch for class StreamableStream" issue. Material Browser plugin is now compatible with SketchUcation ExtensionStore plugin.

                              1.0.8 version fixes "special chars in material name" issue. For example: a material named "<auto>1" doesn't cause anymore a missing thumbnail.

                                  1.0.9 version improves user experience. You don't need anymore to reopen Material Browser UI after you've checked "Display only model materials", etc.

                                      Something weird is going on with your extension for some users...
                                      It's reported over at SketchUp.com
                                      It seems to be copying/moving its zip.rb and zip folder from your ../Libraries/ subfolder into the Plugin folder.
                                      First off it looked like SCF toolset doing this, as it has a similar Rubyzip set up, bt it seems to narrow down to you !
                                      Ideas ??

                                        My bad. Old versions of material_browser.rbz file include Rubyzip library at root… That’s why there’s a zip.rb file and a zip folder at root of Plugins folder. You can safely uninstall the “zip” library with native Extension Manager. Then, if you want to continue to use Material Browser plugin: upgrade it. New versions of Material Browser plugin include Rubyzip library in a proper way.

                                            Is it possible to create a custom filter? I'm doing work for a client that has unique filters for different material types. I have the material library created (over 200 materials) but would like to filter it for specifics like "wall covering", tile wall, tile floor, fabric, concrete, plastic, window film, etc.

                                            I want to hand this to the team with the filters the other designers uses and not these defaults.
