[Plugin] Material Tools

[TIG]

Hi Thom,
sorry for bumping the topic... Could you add "Remove materials applied to back faces"? (Or is there a plugin that does that already?)

viewtopic.php?p=264134#p264134 = My recent tools include three options:
1. If a face has no front-material but does have a back-material it reverses the face and moves the back-material onto the front keeping the UV mapping etc. It works on selected faces, and after a confirmation-dialog faces in groups, components, or just 'all'.
2. If a face has a front-material and also has a back-material it reverses the face and moves the back-material onto the front keeping the UV mapping etc and erases the other material - i.e. the back-material is finally defaulted [it is 'forced' - use with care!]. It works only on selected faces.
3. It removes back-materials from all selected faces, and after a confirmation-dialog faces in groups, components, or just 'all'.

Cool, TIG, thanks! I knew I remembered reading something but you guys spoil us with the abundance of new plugins every day so it's really hard to keep up with the development!

Instance Material to Faces paints materials also to the back faces. Apply Color Adjustments bugsplats SketchUP when nothing is selected. The names are somehow misleading because this tools work on a selection - maybe to put them on the right click menu when click on the selection or add "selected" to the name.
WinXp SP3
SketchUP 8

Yes - by design to preserve the same visual appearance.

Apply Color Adjustments bugsplats SketchUP when nothing is selected.

It doesn't use the selection at all - it processes all colour adjusted textures in the model. Got a sample model where this occurs? I've not seen any bugplats with this. Can't reproduce it either.

Not all work on the selection.

Itis a clean file - nothing there

[thomthom]

I tried with a completely empty file - no splat.

Admin or user account?

[thomthom]

And you said it does this if the selection was empty?
It doesn't always do this?

[thomthom]

So it crashes all the time? No exceptions?

[dedmin]

As far as I tried - yes.

[thomthom]

Ok - I'll see if I can make a debug version to detect where it splats.

This is a great plugin Thomas, thanks

[nektares]

Thanks ThomThom! your plug-ins are really cool!

Great plugin thomthom, nice work, only wish remove by selection would remove the materials applied to faces and groups/components inside selected groups/components, and components in selection are made unique.

I think the problem is with Recurve? i'm getting all sorts of errors when I right click

[Rich O Brien]

Problem isn't Recurve as I've removed it....
