Re: Change Texture Plugin v1.2
a. It would be nice to be able to use Sweet Home 3D's actual texture selection dialog (or similar).
b. It would be good to allow textures for walls etc to also be changed (checkbox options).
c. It would be nice if undo could be made to work.
d. Optionally filtering the texture list could be useful.

Very nice work. The neat part is that it is possible to find out which textures one has actually used in a model. E.g. I realised that I had experimented with three different textures for door thresholds. Good being able to tidy that up. Filtering would be nice. Maybe especially if the plugin could filter out and list textures in use in the plan (my full list is pretty overwhelming). If possible, making the plugin work on walls/floors/ceilings and even models with built-in textures, would really make this plugin a must-have. ok


Thanks for the feedback I'll give filtering some thought, I was thinking of perhaps two options:


  • Adding text fields to the top of the From-Texture-Panel and the To-Texture-Panel. When text is entered the lists would narrow accordingly.
  • Adding an option to the Furniture-Selection-Panel that would cause the panel to list all a home's furniture. Then when click/control-click/shift-click was used to select from the furniture-list, the textures in the From-Texture-Panel would narrow to only those used by the selected furniture.


There is also the possibility of extending the plugin by adding tabs to deal with other related tasks, such as non-furniture changes. Or perhaps related tasks should just have their own plugins.

The plugin now has to load furniture models in order to retrieve initial shininess values. Potentially the plugin could also access each model's built-in textures.
