How to search and find a specific material in a huge material library?
-
Hi All
here's another real beginner's question
As you know, there are very extensive colour systems out there.
To find a specific colour in SkUp´s material window, is there the possibility to search somehow (e.g. by a known name or number) instead of scrolling forever?
-
ThruPaint can search libraries
-
thanks a lot for this hint Rich
- this option in ThruPaint never occurred to me.
Unfortunately, ThruPaint is not able complete this task even after more than 10 minutes but remains stuck at this 100% status and freezes.
(which btw would also be a period of time in which I would have already finished my work several times with the scroll method which I was hoping to bypass
).
Therefore there is no built-in native SkUp search option?
-
No, you can't search libraries unfortunately.
ThruPaint does initially take time to build a database but after its ok to search.

I don't know to be honest. You could be a unicorn when it comes to materials libraries.
Is there ruby console errors?
@fredo6 would be best placed to offer an insight into the behaviour of ThruPaint's database building.

Can you leave the Ruby Console open when launching ThruPaint. There may be some errors displayed.

hi and thanks Fredo6 - I did as you said and this is the message in the Ruby console (I´ll add the message as a txt-File)Ruby Error.txt

Can you try with LibFredo6 v15.1b, just published.

Then, there is something corrupted in your list of materials....
Can you try with LibFredo6 v15.1c.
