Here's one for the scripting/plugin gurus.

I've been looking at the FillUntextured plugin and wondering;

1). Using the FillUntextured Plugin as a guideline, could a plugin be written that would only change/replace the material(s) on certain faces or groups of faces, and not on the whole object?

This is the sequence that I had in mind.

A) Select a face material using the Eyedropper Tool.

B) The script/plugin finds all faces on the object that have the same material as the selected face.

C) The script/plugin then allows you to set up a new material in the material/colors panel in 3DC.

D) The script/plugin then fills/replaces the material/color only on those faces, and not the entire object.

It looks as though this could be done, but I really don't know enough about scripting and plugins to know what changes to make.

Any comments or ideas appreciated... :-/

Hi Les,

All of this can actually be done already using the "Select by Material" function that is available by right-clicking on the face with the material you want to update. Then you can use the "Update Material" plug-in to replace the material.
