for rendering in keyshot I had so many occasions for testing textures where I wanted to distribute all items to different layers automatically (creating layers). Is there a script or routine for this? [image]

I’m not sure I understand… If your ‘range select’ the layers you want to chance (click the first one, hold Shift, click the last), then select the material of any of the selected layers, then they will all change at once. Is that what you mean?

No not exactly, when I create random geometry like here I want to drag and drop materials in Keyshot on each item separately. Therefore every item has to be on a separate layer. Since they are on the default layer I’m looking for a method to instantly assign a new layer to any item or group that I w…

Maybe someone could write a script but not me. I’m too busy with this other stuff to do any scripting. Sorry. Perhaps the Keyshot people have something since it’s their tool you need to accommodate. Just a guess…

This will load the script, set it up to load on startup in the future and register the alias ObjectsToNewLayers th…

Willllllllem! This thingy rocks my work. So kind mindset. owe u something, made my day! H

Hi Pascal! I want to model an entire retail store on Rhino and render it with Keyshot. There are going to be hundreds of components. Eg.: One wall having five segments with different textures. To be able to render it on Keyshot, I cannot make those many layers! How do I go about this project? Pl…
