[Plugin] MatSim (Material Simulation) - v1.7a - 17 Dec 25

I think this is related to some non-alphanumeric characters in the name of materials (like %, =, ...). I need to check the code a see whether there is an impact.

If so, this is the issue, as these file need to be transferred. The issue is that te materials are stored in the model if they have been used once in the model, and not purged thereafter.

They all use a one of two textures. However, they are colorized using the texture settings in the material. Your plugin seemed to store temporary versions of these with each texture being given a unique name by your plugin.

@fredo6 I'm using the latest version of MatSim with LibFredo6 version 15 (latest) but I'm having a problem when selecting materials. When editing Base or Theme materials sometimes it will let me select a material I've been using and leave it alone but other times when I select a texture it will effectively "colorize" the texture and get rid of the actual photographic picture. In this instance HD Brick and Stone that I've imported and used as a texture.

@fredo6 The extension is very useful. But in the large model there is a limit on the number of materials supplied, and the color theme change takes a very long time (2 min.) on a modern computer (AMD 16 honest cores up to 5 GHz, 128GB RAM, RTX 2080 Super 12 GB). A model of a city with 80,000 inhabitants. Unfortunately, I can't share the model. 2025-07-09 165343.png

I released MatSim v1.5b, with up to 150 materials by simulation, instead of 50 (which I already considered a lot).

For performance, I am not sure MatSim can do better than what Sketchup would do natively by permuting materials. As for any automated process, just consider how long it would take you to do it manually...
