Reset default texture inside components?
-
Hey Guys, long time no see, iv ran into an issue and iv no idea how it happened, iv created a model and for some reason the default texture on the back faces is the same texture applied to my model, now the model is made up with many components and i know if i explode the model i can reset the default texture to its original state on all back faces but i would prefer to do it without exploding every component, is this possible? please point me in the right direction if you can, thanks in advance.

Unfortunately that doesnt work resetting the default texture to its original state

Without seeing your model...
It sounds like you have applied a textured material to a container [group or component-instance].
If faces within that container have the default material [front AND/OR back] they will display with the container's material for those front AND back faces.If you have exploded a container [perhaps sometime ago], then that material might be applied to the back-exploded faces [front AND/OR back] ?
So to reset all back-faces to their default you can use this snippet in the Ruby Console to set the back-face material to all such faces.
Note that if the back-face material is the default and the 'container' has a material the back-face will still display as if t has that material, but it will actually have the default back-material [ at least until it is exploded ! ]m=Sketchup.active_model;fs=m.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face);m.definitions.each{|d|d.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face).each{|e|fs<<e}unless d.image?};m.start_operation("deBkMat",true);fs.each{|f|f.back_material=nil};m.commit_operation;It's one step undo-able.

Change default material for back faces........then........use Thrupaint to paint back faces in new default material?
Edit......or use TIG's code

just delete the material from (in model) library
