      Thom,

      That'd be an excellent feature and much appreciated 👍

        Yes, Thom, that would be very handy.

        But of course, such a (to me very sophisticated but for you, guys, probably easy) modification for this FrontFace Plugin would also be handy - so that you need not fiddle with two different plugins (although the very simplicity of this plugin is also charming - no settings, no hassle with dialogs - just "brush" over the model and voilá)

          Hi Gaieus,
          The option of having back material reset to default looks nice.
          I am currently terribly busy, but Christmas is coming.
          I will put it on my list.

            I'd added the feature to Remove Materials. Will post it later.

              Any progress on changing the cursor Tomasz?
              I am using it today and was just curious. Handy tool BTW.

              Checked the API. It looks easy...

                  In the meanwhile, before it gets written into something better - to make ALL rear faces in the model [and faces inside definitions too] have the default material on their backs, just copy and paste this line of code into the Ruby Console - I compressed it into one line for ease of pasting...

                  m=Sketchup.active_model;es=m.entities;es.each{|e|e.back_material=nil if e.class==Sketchup;;Face};ds=m.definitions;ds.each{|d|d.entities.each{|e|e.back_material=nil if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}};return nil

                    Ok. I said I was busy, but I had to refresh my memory, how to write a Tool in SU, so played with FrontFace and here we go:
                    Version 1.2 is ready.

                    Greetings

                        TIG, this is probably one of the most useful pieces of code ever. Thank you very much. 👍

                          TIG, does it also make all groups and components have the default material? (in case one or two got accidentally painted somehow?)

                              No, it fixes back_materials inside them, but not materials applied to them - to do that you need this line...

                              Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each{|d|d.instances.each{|i|i.material=nil}}
                              

                              🤓

                                      It seams that when material is on normal face and i use this plugin then material will be default SU material when turned the faces. Why is it like this? I think it should keep material and just turn faces.

                                        Hi all,

                                        Proud to announce that there is finally a solution to the face flipping problem. You can now reverse faces and preserve UV coordinates! I tested it and the results are accurate!

                                        The UV Toolkit makes it possible. You also need to download the TT_Lib and put it in your plugins folder.

                                        To reverse a face, first select what you want reversed, then go to Plugins > UV Toolkit > Frontface material to Backface (or the opposite).

                                        Hope it helps,
                                        Jeremy

                                          I find it works 50% of the time, sometimes textures are mapped wrongly, maybe I am doing something wrong?
