I need to get over 4,000 colors into a project so I can save the materials as a custom library. I’ve googled my brains out trying to find a script, extension, plugin or pretty much anything else to figure out how to do this without individually entering 4000+ color values. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
are they just colors or are they images with texture?
what format do you have for them?
is it a ‘standard’ library that may already exist? i.e. Ral, Pantone, etc…
did you ask this yesterday from a different account? [if so those answers seem to have disappeared]
I have HEX, RGB, and Lab color values along with the actual names of the colors in a .csv file.
Unfortunately, it’s not an existing library.
I did ask yesterday in Sketchucation, however I didn’t word the title of the topic very well and it looked like I was giving a tip as opposed to asking for one. Apologies for the confusion!
I did try Mass Material Importer with the .ase files I created but it didn’t work. The .ase files that are referred to in that particular plugin are for a 3D modeling program whereas the .ase files I created are Adobe swatch exchange files.
Ah ok, that makes sense. I knew there had to be something behind the .skm files that made them tick. If I could give your code a try, that would be fantastic!
Floating around out there somewhere is a Skm file for ral colors. The funny thing is if you open the file in a text editor it is just a delimited text file. But when you put the file in sketchup’s materials folder sketch up converted it to a materials library. I’m not sure if this still works.
