Summary: Demonstrates how get an objects Flamingo nXt material assignment.

I am trying to figure out how to get the Flamingo nXt material assigned to an object. What can I do?

The following are examples of how to extract the Flamingo nXt material ID assigned to an object and use it to get the material name.

RhinoScript

Option Explicit
 
Call Main()
 
Sub Main()
	Dim objPlugIn, strObject, strMaterial 
	On Error Resume Next
	Set objPlugIn = Rhino.GetPluginObject("8008880f-8d13-4b2d-92b0-727e12878a4c")
	If Err Then
		MsgBox Err.Description
		Exit Sub
	End If
	strObject = Rhino.GetObject("Select object")
  If Not IsNull(strObject) And Not strObject = "" Then
		strMaterial = objPlugIn.GetMaterialId(strObject)
    If Not IsNull(strMaterial) And Not strMaterial = "" Then
			Rhino.Print("Object assigned to Flamingo nXt material ID: " + strMaterial + " Name: " + objPlugIn.GetMaterialName(strMaterial))
    Else
      Rhino.Print("Object does not have a Flamingo nXt material assigned")
		End If
	End If
	Set objPlugIn = Nothing
End Sub

Python

import clr
# Load the Flamingo nXt SDK DLL
clr.AddReference("FlamingoNXtSDK")
import FlamingoNXtSDK
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
# Get the Flamingo nXt plug-in's SDK implimentaion, this will force the
# plug-in to load if it is not currently loaded
flSDK = FlamingoNXtSDK.SDK.FlamingoSDK
 
def MaterialFromOject():
    objID = rs.GetObject("Select object")
    if not objID: return
    result, materialId = flSDK.GetMaterialId(objID)
    if result : print "Material assignment: \"", materialId
    else : print "No material assigned"
 
if __name__=="__main__":
    MaterialFromOject()

        RhinoApp.WriteLine("Object references material with Id of: \"" + matGuid + "\"");
      else
        RhinoApp.WriteLine("Object not assigned a Flamingo material");
    }
    return Result.Success;
  }
