So I was wondering if anyone knows a simple solution to this little problem I’ve found. I will set up a material in sketchup and Enscape, and lets say it’s a paint finish for a wall. I have called it Paint_01. I use it in the project. I then want to create a variation of this paint coluor, using all the parameters that I have previously used with bump and reflection. So I use the +(create material) when I have Paint_01 selected. I then use a new name Paint_02, alter the coluor either with eyedropper or in Ensacpe. I use it in the project file, no problem…happy days. I then save these two separate materials in my library, all seems good so far. I then open up a new project and go to use these two materials. What happens now is that whichever of them I choose first will work fine in the new project. However, the second one, when selected, won’t actually become available; it defaults to the first material.
So I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a simple way to make this workflow work, or is it just a case that I have to create the material from scratch each and every time I want to create a variation of the material?
