Automatic replace of materials when import CAD

[Norbi]

@DennerMan

So in the end the replace_mesh_components_materials_on_actors function after the datasmith import did the trick. I parsed the materials generated by the datasmith importer so they could be looked up in a mapping dictionarry. Then you only have to load the old and new materials to memory and pass them to the function.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, would you happen to have an example of how you are doing this? I’m new to Python and coding the editor in general and am having the same issue. As in, when I replace the material on a mesh, it works fine for the editor asset, however, it does not change the material on the actor that is spawned.

Thank you
