3dworks 197 Posted September 1, 2016 this has already requested again and again, but i can't find it anymore and it is on the top things making me climb wall up in FZ. when you are using the 'select by criteria' palette on a day by day basis, it's just a pain to select any geometry 'by materials' attribute. the small scrollable window does just show tiny thumbnail without any text, and - as an icing on the cake - the order is even different than in the main material panel. see screenshot. please fix and enhance this, it's almost unusable at this point, but so important if you mass edit complex scenes! hopefully next update? kind regards markus 15 Haroldnot, Dennishen, Groversl and 12 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Cooper 250 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) Sorry I removed this post because it wasn't very polite. Please see better phrased +1 below. Edited September 25, 2016 by Alan Cooper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Cooper 250 Posted September 25, 2016 Massive +1 please. Absence of a text option makes correct selection from many similar materials extremely difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew West 221 Posted October 1, 2016 This would make my life so much easier. PLEASE fix this soon. 1 Alan Cooper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shibui Design 43 Posted October 20, 2016 This feature has been severely lacking for quite a long while. A more robust solution would be most welcome. Hopefully this becomes a priority with FormZ development. Thank you! 1 Alan Cooper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3dworks 197 Posted May 22 sorry, but i'm really disappointed as nothing seems to happen here. this is an important tool to keep up with complex projects. with latest update the materials box containing tiny icons even behaves more erratically than before, making a selection impossible. at least please list materials by name, then we can pick something useful here... 1 Alan Cooper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, as far as priorities are concerned, this ought to be high on the list but seems forgotten as you say. 1 3dworks reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASONE 369 Posted June 5 My guess is that it will be a v9 feature. If so I would probably use it a lot more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
