<\/p>\n

I want to assign different materials to different objects, with a single command. 
This is the command for assigning a material to an object:<\/p>\n

oEditor.ChangeProperty(<\/p><\/div>\n

    [<\/div>\n
        “NAME:AllTabs”,<\/div>\n
        [<\/div>\n
            “NAME:Geometry3DAttributeTab”,<\/div>\n
            [<\/div>\n
                “NAME:PropServers”,<\/div>\n
                “Object_1<\/strong>“<\/div>\n
            ],<\/div>\n
            [<\/div>\n
                “NAME:ChangedProps”,<\/div>\n
                [<\/div>\n
                    “NAME:Material”,<\/div>\n
                    “Value:=”       , “Material_1<\/strong>“<\/div>\n
                ]<\/div>\n
            ]<\/div>\n
        ]<\/div>\n
    ])<\/p>\n

I know that I can add other objects i.e. Object_2, Object_3 etc. to the “NAME:PropServers” part on script above. And “Material_1” will be assigned to multiple objects with a single command. Instead, I want to assign “Material_1” to “Object_1”, and “Material_2” to “Object_2”, and so on… <\/p>\n

I have defined object and material name arrays to be assigned. But I have +1000 objects to assign, therefore running this command in a for loop result in a very long time of individual material assignment.<\/p>\n

Is there any trick to make all assignments without a for loop on each object?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-304945","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-AnsysMaxwellelectronics-1","topic-tag-material-assignments","topic-tag-script"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
