This change has made Lumion integration less efficient, as the model needs to be exploded to surfaces before adding materials.
Unlike in earlier versions such as Rhino 6 and early Rhino 7, now you have to explode the polysurface into surfaces for Lumion to recognize multiple materials applied to it. It appears that there’s an issue with Rhino’s - Lumion live-sync feature when applying multiple materials to a polysurface in Rhino 8.
