I am working on a club and the base club i dev from has an insane amount of textures. They all are named with a letter and a number. Therefore, I have no idea which wall is which. I Could swear there was a tool added to highlight a portion of a room in studio in a tutorial I watched but I can not seem to find it?

I like that idea Aiden, and then if it is the wrong one ... you can hit the UnDo on the upper right, huh? Cool... Either way you have to press Preview again. I will experiment with Mighty's suggestion. I think it works better in dark rooms or dark projects :)

if i make a room with a lot of textures and its hard to see what number or letter is on i just use a bright pink texture and just look what has been changed and then change that to the one i want :)

Yes, @MightySe7en​ is correct! You can enable "Highlight Selection" and it will cause the selected material to be Highlighted "Orange".

 

Another good trick is to select a material and then enable/disable Vertex. This causes the material to be alternately Dark then Light, again. @Goldilocks​  says to set the Material "Transparency" Mode to Additive. This will make it Glow.

 

The issue with using the latter two to identify a material is you need to remember to change the setting back to "normal" or it will remain in your project when submitted.

 

The Best support for individual products is to contact the person you are deriving from. Support your IMVU Active Meshers who answer questions!

 

I hope all of these suggestions help.

Hi @ToriLane93​ . I am not currently at a computer, but I believe if you click the eyeball in the top left of studio, there should be a "highlight materials" option or something similar
