This looks really cool. Actually, maybe it is not the proper way to ask this but I have been looking for a tool like this for ages but I really really miss the MatID function. It is possible to show the MatIDs of each polygon and/or show only the MatID of that polygon which is under the cursor? I know this plugin is free at the moment but I would gladly pay for it if is will has that function.

I can certainly add this. Would you want it show the face ID’s of the selected faces only? I would only charge a small fee for the addition.

In my opinion the best way if it you would put some switches on the interface, something like this:
1. show all matIDs (on the selected object, all faces (no faces selected))
2. show only selected polygons, elements matIDs
3. and when nothing (I mean polygon(s) or element(s)) is selected, show the polygons matID which is under the cursor (on the selected object)
Actually the third one is what I really miss and if you only want to implement one, please do that :). My work would be much easier with that function when I import a model, lets say from ArchiCAD and I have to replace all the materials to a proper V-ray or Corona material. I always have to select a polygon (or element) to check its matID and then replace the shader (in a very big multi material) and it really slows down the process.

I’m crying … a great tool but, the most useful information for me: “Sub Dimensions” worked well in the first run and then, these values were never shown anymore. I’m running it in Max 2017
It would be perfect if it could be docked
Thanks a lot
