Summary: Demonstrates how to assign a Flamingo nXt material to an object.

I am trying to figure out how to assign a Flamingo nXt material to an object. What can I do?

The following are examples of how to assign a Flamingo nXt material to an object.

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
  strMaterial = objPlugIn.ModalMaterialBrowser()
  If Not IsNull(strMaterial) And Not strMaterial = "" Then
	  strObject = Rhino.GetObject("Select object")
    If Not IsNull(strObject) And Not strObject = "" Then
      If objPlugIn.SetMaterialId(strObject, strMaterial) Then
        Rhino.Print("Object assigned to material " + objPlugIn.GetMaterialName(strMaterial))
      Else
        Rhino.Print("Error assigning material to object")
      End If
    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
import scriptcontext
# 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 AssignMaterialToObject():
    # Display the modal material browser and prompt the user for a material
    rc, matName, matGuid = flSDK.ModalMaterialBrowser(None)
    if not rc: return
    # Prompt user to select oject to assign material to
    objID = rs.GetObject()
    if not objID: return
    # Attempt to assign material to picked object
    if flSDK.SetMaterialId(objID, matGuid):
        print "Material \"", matName, "\" assigned to selected object"
        scriptcontext.doc.Views.Redraw()
    else:
        print "Unable to assign \"", matName, "\" to selected object"
 
if __name__=="__main__":
    AssignMaterialToObject()
