Hi somehow I have managed to apply a material at group level for every group in the model. Is there a quick way to reset it back to the default material?
Does anybody know how I managed this???
Thanks

Thanks
That is what I have been doing but it has applied it to every group at every level.
There’s an old plugin to remove all group/component materials.
Thanks I remembered that there was one but could not for the life of me remember where to find it. I will give it go.
Sadly didn’t work with 2026 version.
It’s old but I just tried it in v2026 and it still works, albeit a bit like a sledge hammer !
Thanks TIG. It is a large model but it was running for about 10 minutes. Maybe I didn’t give it long enough.
You could right click on the material thumbnail in the In Model materials and choose Delete. No extension needed for that.
It’s a bit clunky and undiscerning. What do you want to do exactly ?
If you have a selection a few lines of Ruby code could process that and extract any Group and Component-Instance objects and set their .material=nil
It’s also possible to iteratively ‘mine’ down into a selected group/component’s definition.entities, and again extract the relevant objects to remove materials from…
So what is your aim ?
Like Dave said - just click on materials and select ‘in model’ and delete every colour. Then everything will be the default colour.
