I'm using SketchUp 8. I import an object with 4 different parts, each with different materials. Fine. Each part is a different color.
I drag drop black chrome on one of the materials, then shift-left click to copy it, and shift-right click (3 times) to paste it on each of the remaining 3 materials.
Now when I edit any of the single materials-- they all change. If I drag drop a material onto any one of the 4 parts, they all change. How do I 'unlink' the material attributes settings so each material can be unique-- as in when I first imported the model?
I hope this is explained clearly enough :-)
I'm guessing you upgraded to KeyShot 3? this shortcut is now paste and link, recheck the list of shortcuts by pressing 'k' on the keyboard.
I think it's now Ctrl+Shift+Right Click for pasting a material without linking it.
Right. So, how to 'unlink' it?
Go to the scene tree and highlight the parts that you want to unlink. Right click and select "Unlink Materials".
Thanks! Just what I needed. :D
