need help about material!

[cyfer]

I don't think this is what you're asking for , as far as i understand your post

see this



--Select your objects first
Object_array = Selection as array

for i = 1 to Object_array.count do
(

the_mat = Arch___Design__mi()
the_mat.name = ("material" +"__"+i as string)
the_mat.diff_color = (random Black White)
Object_array[i].material = the_mat
)




if it's not please explain more

For A&D material on selected objects:
for i in selection do i.material = Arch___Design__mi()

For standard material on selected objects:
for i in selection do i.material = standardMaterial()

For A&D material on all objects:
for obj in geometry do obj.material = Arch___Design__mi()

For standard material on all objects:
for obj in geometry do obj.material = standardMaterial()

That is the easy way to do it, but all of your materials will be called either StandardMaterial or Arch___Design__mi, so you'll have to add a naming routine as well, like this:
for obj in geometry do (obj.material = Arch___Design__mi(); obj.material.name = obj.material.name + "_" + obj.name)

That just adds the name of the object to the end of the material name.

Let me know if it does what you need. Looks like if you add a material from a library or from the mat editor it will not make unique copies of it if you don't have Instance Material turned on. I could correct that for you if you need it to do that.
