Materials Reappearing
-
Well snot, I just did a test with a file I created back in 08 and did not get this problem.
It may be that while I had a session of SU7 open it was corrupting files as I opened them???I will have to do some more investigation...

Just a shot in the dark, I don't use SU7 but I know you can link to a photo editor, did you make any recent changes there, maybe some paths got crossed or corrupted and its actually your photo editor thats reloading your textures, nevermind I dont think that would affect standard SU materials.

Boo, did you ever get this straigtened out?

Nope, I have not been around my home computer long enough.

Just an update, this problem still has not been resolved.
I brought home a model I was working on at the office. Drew some in it, purged the unused materials, closed out then opened it up again and there were the materials. Plus I seem to be getting a bugsplat about 70% of the time I close SU. Looks like I need to reinstall SU7.

Ok so I had some time tonight and decided to solve this problem once and for all. First thing I did was rename my Plugins folder so SU would not recognize it. I placed another Plugins folder with the original "plain" install. I restarted SU and the problem was gone. Ok, so it is in my plugins...
After quite some time I have narrowed it down to one plugin, VRay. If I remove the VRayForSketchup.rb file and restart the problem is solved. So I put it back and looked over VRay and noticed there was a Purge unused materials option if I context click the Scene Materials. GREAT! I thought. So I purged them and saved. Woo hoo, until I reopened the file and there they were again.
So, I know where the problem is just not how to fix it.
Any thoughts from the VRay crowd?Thanks.

What V-Ray version?
What you can do - with V-Ray unloaded, delete the V-Ray attributes. Think there's a couple of attribute managers available.

I had the same problem and now its fixed - it was the vray plugin.
I purged my sketchup materials, then I opened the vray materials and right clicked on 'scene materials' and you get a 'purge unused materials' option - purge these. Now, very important, open up the vray 'options' window and then close it. Save the sketchup file as your default, and close it. When you re-open sketchup all the additional materials have gone!

Ah yea, that's a very important step. V-Ray doesn't save any material changes unless you open the Option window. That's why the purge hasn't worked.
