hi, I don't seem to be able to down load materials from the LiveDB database:

I'm using R22 with PR3 on a Mac running Catalina

Thanks

Hi,
everything is working as expected here with c4doctaneX PR3.

Please, follow these steps:
  • Open an already saved scene, in this way the plugin can save the material textures inside the proper tex folder, in the directory of the scene
  • Load the LiveDB panel, click on the + symbol to expand the macro categories, and select one of the desired category
  • Select one of the material preview and press the Download button, to correctly save the LiveDB material and textures in the scene

Brilliant, that worked thanks.

Where are the materials downloaded to? I assume it is stored in the project file and not in the library

downloaded to where's you project. Don't forget to save your project before download as warned in the title of window. Otherwise plugin can't find if you save untitled project to another location.
