It Purges all UNUSED Components, Layers, Materials, Styles. When you delete any component from your scene, it remains in SketchUp's "background" memory somewhere. Same thing happens when you delete a Layer, Material, or Scene Style... in case you want to use it again later. If you are conf...

unfortunately there is a SketchUp Bug that does not remember these settings in the .skm material format the way it supposedly should. We, too, wish it were the way you propose... please contact SU and request them to fix this bug! Perhaps if they hear from enough people they will finally fix it.

If you need the tool, please let me know, it's free, and I linked it from this forum several times...

in the alpha mask shown, the bricks are pure white, which leaves them without bumps.

Just to follow up... if your Brick Alpha looks something like this, then you can use it in bump and specular. You may want to make (in photoshop) a greyscale image of the brick you are using and overlay it on the alpha and set its opacity to something like 30-50 percent and set blending mode for the...
