      The plugin goes through all in-model materials and changes them to a grey value. The default face color is completely ignored as it does not appear in the in-model materials list, and this is when the material is nil.

      So the question is, should the plugin also change the default face color to a grey value?

      Does anyone have a preference for how the greyscale value is calculated? If not, I will try the method suggested by Didier.

      Thanks, Didier for taking the time to help.

      A bit late reply, but I'd prefer Pixero's formula:

      @pixero said:

      Jim: I see you use the average of r, g and b to get the greyscale color. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=12368#p88865
      A often used and more visually correct way is to use this formula:

      Greyscale = (r * 0.3) + (g * 0.59) + (b * 0.11);

                Well, the pay version has a lot more functions as far as I know (and since this is Jim's only commercial plugin, I do not envy a little income as he has shared so many cool and free plugins already).

                Yet of course I understand your point...

                    Gaius you say the pay version - i could not find a free version - is there one?
                    (sorry i have posted on the sketchup forum http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sketchup/thread?tid=622cedaca19034d7&hl=en too just to confuse you)
                    i only want basic functionality. i understand it's worth the money dave, it looks great.

                        There used to be a free version of it (in its infancy) available on Jim's site. I dohave that version but as you can understand, after he pulled it off when he went pro with this version, I cannot share it any longer.

                                    What's 4 bucks anyway? Considering these guys who write ruby scripts for SU often write and release many free rubies..... I personally am happy to pay for any script if i feel it is useful to my workflow, no matter the cost.
