Hi all,
I found this post on the google groups from nov. of 07, when searching for a way to import a group of materials into sketchup. I installed the ruby and it shows up under my plugins drop down. Problem is I cant get it to work. Does anyone have any experience with this particular plugin??? The genesis of my problem is the need for a bunch of sketchy type materials for a black and white presentation i'm preparing in Layout. I was only able to find a set of jpg's hence my need to convert them to .skm files.
"QUESTION:
Is there a way to automate a bulk add of a JPG library to the
SKM library? I've got several hundred material texture images and it
would be tedious to convert them by hand one by one.
ANSWER:
Use the ruby script Mass Material Importer
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/massmaterialimporter.rb.
to place an entire folder of images into your In-Model library, which
you can then save with Save As Library. You'll probably have to tweak
the scales on the images."
Thanks for any help!!
