I want to define color / material and use it in several GH files via Data Output / Input. The problem is that color / material created using mMaterial (six years go) changes when passing through Data Output / Input.

Oh crap!

I’ve just realized that this problem has been fixed in R8. Does that mean it won’t be fixed in R7?
P.S. I wonder what version most of McNeel’s customers use?
After ‘Download and Install’, R8 appears to work as expected, though I wonder if it handles R7 ‘internalized hops’ correctly? Will have to investigate further…
