]I think it would be great to be able to consolidate materials by selecting in the material palette. I've seen the script that isolates objects by material (material selector), but it doesn't seem to work in my model. Besides, I'm trying to take a hundred-ish materials and reduce them to a more manageable figure.

I've run your material consolidator, but the materials aren't exactly the same.

As you can see... if I could select a couple dozen similar grays and tell them to be one... life would be much better.
