Rhino Sub Object Selection Material Assignment Not working

[hunter_courtney]

Hi,

I'm attempting to follow this previously posted gif (http://ftp.chaosgroup.com/support/sc...8_16-24-05.gif) in order to sub object select and then assign seperate materials. When I do this in rhino 7 (vray 5) the change will appear in the rendered viewport but not in the interactive or full render frame buffers.

I need to use this technique or another in an architectural model where I would prefer to not explode every polysurface.

Thanks!

Hi hunter_courtney

Unfortunately McNeel has removed CRM from the material splitter in Rhino 7.8. For us this mean we need to reimplement the sub-object material support from scratch.
If it is possible for you, please downgrade to Rhino 7.6 or 7.7, where the CRM for the material splitter is still present there.

I hope it can be fixed, since it was a very useful feature. Good luck.
