How to make seperate collections for materials.
-
Hi,
Maybe this is a stupid question, but I have been looking for an answer and I was not able to find one.
I want to manage my materials in sketchup in a proper way so that I can easily find a certain material when I need one. For example: I want the materials that I use in my streetcar and the ones that I use in my roads in a seperate collection. Otherwise they all end up in the same "collection" or folder and it becomes hard to find the one that I want to edit. How can I do this please?
Many thanks in advance,
Pieter

Are you talking about your library of material, or the in-model materials?

I am talking about the in-model materials. (The reason I want to manage them in a better way is because I have a very large model.)

That sounds like the concept idea I got for a new material browser...

Interesting, so I'm not the only one with that problem.
hahahI think the standard browser is not a very good one. Your idea looks very promising.

Trouble is that there are some severe limitations to the materials in the Ruby API. I'm trying to find functional workarounds.
