✅ Detect toggles — choose whether to include Metallic and Roughness in each sync

✅ Reload textures — refresh all textures globally or only the active object's

✅ Batch material import — auto-build full Principled BSDF networks from a texture folder

✅ Delete unused materials — purge zero-user materials with a confirmation step

📁 Material Utilities

• Import Materials from Folder — auto-detects BaseColor, Albedo, Metallic, Roughness & Normal maps and wires them into a full Principled BSDF node setup instantly

• Remove Duplicate Materials — cleans up .001 / .002 duplicate data blocks created by appending or linking assets

• Refresh All Textures — reloads every file-based image texture in the project

• Refresh Textures (Active) — reloads only the textures used in the active object's material

🎨 Material Sync

• Sync Active Material — reads Principled BSDF values and writes them to the viewport display color

• Sync Selected Materials — applies sync to all selected mesh objects at once

• Sync All Scene Materials — syncs every mesh object in the scene in one click

• 🔲 Detect Metallic / Detect Roughness toggles — control exactly what gets synced

🧹 Clean Up Unassigned Materials

• Remove Unused Slots (Active) — removes material slots not assigned to any polygon on the active object

• Remove Unused Slots (Scene) — does the same across every mesh object in the entire scene

🗑️ Delete Unused Materials

• Purge all zero-user materials from the project — with a confirmation dialog before anything is removed
