      Thanks, but even at the extra large size it's still difficult to see some of the textures clearly, especially if they're dark, and if you have several similar ones it's difficult to be sure which one you're looking at. I hate having to use magnifying glasses, but maybe my eyes are getting old (I would guess so, since the rest of me certainly is) ๐Ÿ˜’ Thanks

        If the large thumbnails are too small, you might find it useful to make sample swatches of the materials you would commonly use and print them out. You could make the swatches as large as you want, even one to a page if you need to. Just make a bunch of squares in SketchUp and paint each one with a different material. Then print the view.

                I've space for that and it'd be a nice gesture too! Especially after I never mentioned what happened in Boulder... ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

                            I've got space too, and I'll even provide the dvd's. Or you could just provide me a link to your computer and I could download them directly (and I wouldn't look at anything else, really. Trust me ๐Ÿ˜Ž )

                              Maybe safer, or more efficient to use ftp? (or whatever they have to beat that)

                              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                oh and back on-topic; hellnbak; have you tried using the material-picker? if you've already applied the material somewhere in your scene, and you know where, you can use paintbucket+alt to pick up the material in order to apply it
