Add materials with one click - toolbar

[formatio]

Hi

prehabitat - yes. I'll add more features in the future so they would go underneath the current icons (or cascade icon/menu when it gets crowded)

I have it like this:

toolbar location

If you guys have any suggestions for the toolbar post them in this thread

[neiwei845458454]

Code: Select all

# This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext

rs.Command("_RenderLoadMaterialFromFile C:\\glass.rmtl")


def FindMaterialByName(mat_name):
    # find a material by name
    mat_table = scriptcontext.doc.Materials
    mat_index = mat_table.Find(mat_name, True)
    if mat_index >= 0:
        print("{0} found at index {1}").format(mat_name, mat_index)
    else:
        print("material named {} not found in table").format(mat_name)

if __name__=="__main__":
    FindMaterialByName("glass")

obj = rs.GetObject()

if obj:

    index = rs.ObjectMaterialIndex(obj)

    if index==-1: index = rs.AddMaterialToObject(obj)

this will help you

Hi formatio,
your toolbar is great.

Unfortunately materials don't work. Rhino says: Unknow Command

I' seem like "RenderLoadMaterialFromFile" isn't recognised...

Bye

Hi Fabrizio.

This command comes from rdk - do you have it installed/up to date?
This command (and many others starting with Render...) do not autocomplete.

Hi,
I have solved...my Rhino is in the Italian version...so I have to insert an underscore before the commands.

_RenderLoadMaterialFromFile

Now everything works fine

thanx a lot

Hi, Thank you for the info - I changed the toolbar so it works in every language now (see first post in this thread)

Hey Guys - if you have any suggestions or need another feature - let me know here and I try to implement it.
