Realtime preview of new/unique layer materials?

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hi,

It’s been a long-standing issue, hoping maybe in V8 it could get fixed?
Currently we have nice real-time material preview while adjusting it on Layers, except for two cases:

  1. New material is created on layer with Default material
  2. Layer has non-unique material and we click the yellow “Create unique editable copy” bar to make it unique.

With the above two cases there is no real-time preview on the new material, we have to close the dialog and re-open it to see the feedback. Could we please make it work from the get-go? The two above cases 100% of the time result in a need to tweak the new material, otherwise making them would not be needed, having to close and re-open every time is a big nuissance…

@johnc - I think we chatted about this in the past and you mentioned that is was not easy to fix… still, fingers crossed this could get some V8 love.

thanks,

Hi @Jarek,

Yes, I remember it being a very difficult problem, but we will have a crack at it in V8.
