Import .ocs - modyfi materials

Hi

We can choose a .ocs file as proxy - but is it possible to modify the material or does one have to open the sketchup file, change material and save as .ocs?

I can the material as "Imported", and can add it to the scene, but it seems not to be 'open' for edit.

Thanks :-)

Sorry - have a lot of questions, but I really like this plugin for Sketchup :-)

Hi Jorgensen,

Great to hear you like the plugin :)
Right now it's not possible to modify imported materials.
I wanted to add this feature but haven't figured out how to save changes after editing imported materials. Should I save the original .ocs file after updating materials in SU? Or this should not be session persistent and all changes will be lost after closing SU. This is not a trivial design problem, so I'm leaving this as is until I see a clean way of doing this.

Thank you!
