Wish: join and keep different materials

… as subselection materials please. Is it possible?

-Micha

Currently in v7, the first selected object’s material is the one that wins but I’ll write this up as a feature request now (https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-68771).

In a related request, I’ve been lobbying for sub-object material mapping to be preserved in the opposite workflow where you have the surfaces joined already and then assign sub-object materials. The only thing that currently isn’t editable is the mapping for the sub-object materials after that but this is I believe being looked at for v8… I mention this in the new request as well.
