Full Version: Transferring materials/color after boolean operations

From: 3image

Hello,

is it possible in MoI to _not_ transfer materials/color between objects after boolean operations so the original colors are preserved on the object the boolean operation was done to?

I believe not, but not a big deal to select all the result and apply a material / color
or ask Michael for little script about that! ;)

Hi 3image,

There's an option you can set in moi.ini .

Go to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button and inside moi.ini in the [Styles] section set:

DisableSubObjectStyles=y

Thanks, Michael.

However, I'm working with the newest beta of MoI and can't find neither "[Styles]" nor something like "DisableSubObjectStyles". I've added

[Styles]
DisableSubObjectStyles=y

to the end of the .ini file but that didn't work. Adding the setting to the [View] section doesn't work, too.

Hi 3image, can you send me your moi.ini file either here or e-mail to moi@moi3d.com ?

It's working now. Sorry, made a mistake in the search settings of my text editor. Found the setting, changed it, and now materials are no longer transferred. Thanks again, Michael.
