Material name prefix so it doesn't show in the material list When you create furniture for use in Sweet Home 3D you can add hinges and rails for deformations. Especially rails are often hidden inside the furniture and thus invisible for the user. These rails have no use other than being a rail for deformations. They are not part of the design. Of course you can create it as an invisible object by setting a d value of 0 in the MTL file but it still has a material name that you see in the Modify furniture dialog material list. The user can see and change this but of course it's useless because you can't see it. For beginner users that can be confusing. (I often hide a single face rail/hinge inside another part if an existing face is not available for use as a rail/hinge.) What I would like to have is a material name prefix like "sweethome3d_hidden_" or "sweethomet3d_invisible_" where it handled just like any other material but because of the prefix is not shown in the Modify furniture material list. With export it should be exported just like any other visible material. With this the user doesn't see a material name that he cannot see anyway and that has no reason to change color. Basically a prefix that means "Don't show it to the user in the material list". ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
