[Plugin] Material Tools

[thomthom]

So it crashes all the time? No exceptions?

[dedmin]

As far as I tried - yes.

[thomthom]

Ok - I'll see if I can make a debug version to detect where it splats.

Great plugin thomthom, nice work, only wish remove by selection would remove the materials applied to faces and groups/components inside selected groups/components, and components in selection are made unique.

I'm not getting 'Remove Material from selection' to work?

Actually I just noticed that right clicking produces this error

Error; #<LocalJumpError; unexpected return>
(eval);106;in `load'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb;270;in `call'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/tt_material_tools.rb;270

I think the problem is with Recurve? i'm getting all sorts of errors when I right click

[Rich O Brien]

Problem isn't Recurve as I've removed it....

Stop breaking things!

[Rich O Brien]

They call me Mr.Glass

[thomthom]

As a DIY quick-fix - change
if ents.respond_to?( :back_material )
to
if e.respond_to?( :back_material )

[Rich O Brien]

Sorted

Now I'll break something else

[thomthom]

Go'n run with scissors or something...

I like find this plugin very useful, especially the possibility to transfer the instance material to the faces inside the group or component, but that results in the backfaces also being painted. But sometimes I just want all the instance material gone as I sometimes accidentally assign a material to a group or component and later I can't find it any more. This is especially annoying if the material is not used any more in the rest of the model but remains in the material browser and doesn't get purged. I tried removing all backface materials after transferring the instance material but that resulted in also losing all backface materials I assigned intentionally. Is there a way to simply remove all instance materials?
