WISH: Delete All Materials Button

I can’t believe I am saying this but, similar to what Ketchup has… (oh how low have we gone).

Please make it not crash the file. Thanks.

Why is Rhino so bad at dealing with materials?

I am talking about UX, UI and performance. Performance: 1.It takes ages to load the materials. I don’t know what happens under the hood but of all the 3d programs I use Rhino is the only one struggling to load the materials. It gets specially unworkable with long lists of materials. 2.Scrolling the list is practically impossible. 3.Deleting materials also takes AGES and I just experienced multiple crashes after waiting 20 minutes for Rhino to DELETE ALL materials in the file. 4.Even with on…

This will be trivial to add. However, Ctrl-A + Delete?

Hello,

Ctrl-A + Delete?

To delete all, simply click on the three horizontal lines at the top right, then select all and then click delete

I disagree, if you have to select all materials then you will run into trouble in Rhino.

I have never had problems with “select all”, neither in small nor large projects
