Picker doens't pick the right material! why?

[AlainBo]

Hello,
When I use the Material Editor and click the Pick button to get a material, sometimes it gets the texture of the inside and not the one I see and if I render the scene, it's rendered with the texture it picks and not the texture seen in SU. (Sketchup

Why?

hi AlainBo,

1. make sure that the tip of the picker is over surface You want take material from - edge may have different material assigned.
2. if component (or group) is painted with a material not used inside of it, then indigo may render its external material. f.e. You have box with red walls, but the component (or group) they make is painted green - in that case sometimes indigo renders it green, although You see red in sketchup. It's not a rule, but i observed it few times in my models.

I have also encountered this. It's just a minor inconvenience. Just zoom in closer on your model, pick the material, then hit "previous" camera view.
