Rhino 5 script, rename layer material based on layer name Tweet

[vanhage]

Wanted to share a script I wrote that helps keep my materials organized when I move geometry from Rhino to Octane.

With my architecture workflow in Rhino, I like to organize my layers by material, but even after the careful naming of my layers, rhino assigns a default prefix to any modified layer material (which makes assigning materials in octane arduous). When you run the script, you are asked what layers you want to rename and the material names are automatically changed to the layer names (which are then identical in octane).

Really simple and straightforward and it saves me from having to type in the same information twice. Hope its useful.

he, he, that is great. I thought about writing a script for the same purpose but I am not a progrgammer so I skipped this.
Thank you for setting this up and sharing it.
It saves tedious work.
