Commiting textures from Rhino

Hi @Dimitrios.Ververidis! Thanks for reporting this. Material support is something that was added recently and still has to be properly propagated throughout all the connectors. Also, the current implementation of render material doesn’t cover sending along textures. You can check out the current model here:

specklesystems/speckle-sharp/blob/master/Objects/Objects/Other/RenderMaterial.cs

using Speckle.Core.Models;
using Speckle.Core.Kits;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;

namespace Objects.Other
{
  /// <summary>
  /// Minimal physically based material DTO class. Based on references from

  /// Theoretically has equivalents in Unity and Unreal.

    public string name { get; set; }

Currently, the Rhino connector should assign the layer color as the material, as it was currently intended just for preview purposes on the web viewer. But it seems like you bumped into a bug as it doesn’t look like its working properly in all cases, we are going to look into it and will keep you posted!

Meanwhile, if you want more control you can set renderMaterial properties in Grasshopper using the SchemaBuilder Node
