Vismat attached to Copied skp. object

[40th]

It would be great if when coping an object from one skp file and pasting it to another, vray material settings will be also imported.
So if i paste a table for instance to an empty skp file SU will import the materials that applied on it. And i wish vray could attach it's material setting that were set in the original skp file.

It will really speed up my (and I'm sure that many other's) daily workflow. When i want to use component or some object from another scene that i have.

I agree... that would be a very nice feature. But

That would be great, but AFAIK it ain't gonna happen any time soon. I think the problem lies within SU's very limited ruby API within which VfSU operates.

An alternative not-quite-as-useful-but-theoretically-easier-to-implement method would be to implement multiple vismat imports. So you could select several vismats and (provided the materials in your skp file have identical material names of course) VfSU would import all the vismats at the same time and allocate each one to it's corresponding SU material. It's pretty boring having to import each one individually.

I do wonder if there's currently a way to force VfSU to NOT create a clone material when you bring a component into a skp file which already contains a material with the same name. If VfSU could at least recognise that, for example the "Oak Varnished" material in the new component was the same as the "Oak Varnished" material then it could perhaps automatically apply the vismat to the newly imported component.

basically you want to have the same way to sketchup work, when you have imported a model in to your skp import at the same time all the vismat attached without need to re-attach all again..will be great...
