DataSmith - Sketchup and Material Instances

Step by step:

1. Double-click the Material Instance you want to modify to open it in the Material Instance Editor.
2. Click the Hierarchy button in the Toolbar, then choose SketchUpMaster > Open In Editor from the contextual menu. You’ll see the graph for the master material open up in the Material Editor.
3. From the main menu, select File > Save As, and save the master Material to a new Asset in your Project.
4. Go back to your Material Instance, and find the General > Parent setting in the **Details **panel. Set this reference to point to your new master Material.

Now, when you modify the graph for your master Material, those changes will affect the instance.

Hope that helps.

Thank You… This should help. But it looks more like a work around.

I’m really surprised that not many people have asked this question before. This was the only article where I found this information - by which time I had messed up my parent SketchupMaster material
