New Layer material - default type custom instead of plaster?

Serengeti (Rhino BETA)
1

Hi All,

Is there a way to change the default material type for newly created layer from Plaster to Custom?
We almost never need Plaster type, and having to switch to Custom every time adds a lot of extra clicks…
@andy?

thanks,

I’d also like to be able to change the default material type to custom.

PS: I changed the topic category to Serengeti…

Can this be customized?

I’d prefer Physically Based. I think Custom should be removed altogether.

Thanks Nathan, I’m fine with that.

I thought of an option where the default material could be specified…

@andy can decide what happens there, I was just stating my opinion :slight_smile:

I hope not! We mainly use Custom since it is quite simple yet powerful for in-viewport render mode displays…

But I still hope there could be an advanced option in Rhino that allows user to decide which type of material is assigned by default (Plaster is not a great choice in general). I don’t even see this request on YT, any hope we can still make it work?

thanks,
