Title: Merging of exsisting material groups
Post by: Robert V. on July 23, 2010, 12:41:34 AM
Hi,

I would love to be able to select more than 1 material at once, so I can copy materials faster to one group.

I have 3 groups called "metal", combining then would take me ages, because I can only select 1 material at a time...

You can select multiple parts in the scene tree - and then drag a material onto them in the tree. Does this help?

Thomas,

I would like to merge 2 material groups, so that I (for example) don't have 2 groups called "metal" anymore.

I think this guy's asking more about cleaning up the Material library than applying materials to the model. When my library was created using the Hypershot, Keyshot and Keyshot 2 materials, I've ended up with 3 groups called; Metals, Metals, and Metals 2 groups for example.

Cheers for the tip though! Will come in handy.  :)
