[Plugin] Material_Maintenance v2.2 - 2013-01-13
-
Got a sample model?
-
This could be due to the object_id bug for large models where the id's can get garbage collected. I have fixed this already and will release shortly, but a sample model would be useful or at least some info on where the material was applied to, what settings you used etc.

This is the file I used
Thanks Bob. Which material did you try and replace and with what? Which options did you select "Apply to" section? I just replaced metal128 with beige on Front faces, Back Faces and Edges, and that worked fine on the latest bug fix version.
-
Hi Bob, I have just done the same test with the current release version. 2.1.1 and it also worked. It would also help if you can send a screen shot so I can see which settings you used.

For those that are interested here is a link to my call buffer implementation to get past the call synchronisation problem on a MAC.
Works pretty well and fixes the last bug I had on the MAC. I will now tidy up and release the new version tomorrow.

All of the fence originally had a transparent material. I changed them all to the chain-link fence material. I just used the default selections.

Did you select the "Front Faces" and "Back Faces" check boxes at the bottom of the screen under "Apply to"? None of these are selected by default.

Thank you for such a plug in. I notice that in the download page, there is still v1.0 icon with hyperlink, when you click it, it opens a blank error page...
Anyway, I succeed to download by clicking little arrow but I just want you know about that v1.0 issue,
Thanks again!

Very glad you find it useful
The v1.0 is a "feature" of file attachment widget I use to upload the files. It specifies the version of the file, not the the application. As I only uploaded the .rbz file once file versuon is v1.0. As you say you have to click the little arrow to download the file.
Unfortunately I cannot switch it off.
Did the plugin work for you?

I have just released Version 2.2.0 of the plugin. It contains bug fixes for all known outstanding issues. I recommend that you upgrade as it contains a fix for the the key bug which can cause replacements to fail silently on larger models.
You can download it from the usual place.

Nice.
Can you also update the title of this thread?

Thanks for the reminder
All updated now. -
I have tested the last version 2.2.0 and it works fine on Mac OSX 10.8.2 and SU 8.
Thanks for the effort!! -
Hey everybody, just a head's up.
I had just installed the Sefaira Concept Plugin (conceptual energy analysis in SU) on my system, and it completely broke Material Maintenance (both v2.2.0 & v2.1.1. I've tested it on several other machines and got the same result. When I try to load Material Maintenance, the screen and cursor flicker slightly as if it's trying to load, and then never do. It doesn't crash, it just can't load.
Just fyi,
Matt

Hmm... this sounds like observers and/or overwritten API methods...

I thought it might be something like it not being encased in its own namespace (I've been reading your blog a lot
), but 1. it's a .rbs, 2. I don't know enough to be able to diagnose anything like that. -
I had occasion to use Material Maintenance again today: I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but got perfect results this time: a real jewel of a plug-in.
Many thanks for all your hard work. -
Very helpfuls! Tahnks for this.
Thanks ThomThom for pointing this Plugin out! -
Thanks again for an amazing tool! One little suggestion for the next release if it isn't too much to ask: I'd find an "Invert Selection" for the check boxes to be a very helpful little tweak!
