hey gasmasocet, thanks for using my script, hope it is useful!

I have viewport update disabled when performing edits but still get the mod pannel flashing. Havent had time to debug it. I may also have missed it for some right click functions. Are you having trouble with a specific function/action?

Hi, just a suggestion, VIEWPORT UPDATE DISABE/ENABLE very important when you work with HUGE amount of objects

Thank you, I thought

Thank you,

I thought primarily of the values for example of Tiling of various textures which are not in intance in materials in multi/sub-object.

I would like that Tiling in V with 3 as value becomes to 8 but that those which are a value of 1 remain to 1.
I cannot select them separately because they are applied to the same object.

Rather than “3=8” we could have “3” becomes “8”

Best Regards

Léon

Cheers Noel_d3! Just be

Cheers Noel_d3! Just be careful because it cant deal with standardmaterials when you mix blin with o/n/b with metal etc because the standard material drop down changes the amount/ names of the "standard" materials properties and it will crash. With materials that are "hard coded" (vray, mental ray) it will work fine!!

That is an interesting one

That is an interesting one noel_d3. I'll have a look into it. For now you might have to use the selection filter when changing values.
