Material ID to Element ID Assignment

[ninarular]

Is it currently possible to set an element to a specific material from the material list, through the python API?

Hi @ninarular

you could do something like this.

# all_material_ids = material_controller.get_all_materials()
# all_material_names = [material_controller.get_name(material_id) for material_id in all_material_ids]
material_id = material_controller.get_material_id("Your Material Name")
if material_id != 0:
    attribute_controller.set_element_material([123456], material_id)
