Photoworks - mateirals are not being transferred to part faces

Photoworks - mateirals are not being transferred to part faces

Photoworks - mateirals are not being transferred to part faces

(OP)
Is anyone else seeing a problem with when you select multiple faces or the entire part and add a material to that part using lets say Miscellaneous\fabric\Satin black - I can't get those type of materials to show up on my model... they don't turn the color I specifiy.. I have messed with the options but still cannot get this to work. Can someone else test this and let me know if they can use it or not. I can then debug it further.

Thanks,

RE: Photoworks - mateirals are not being transferred to part faces

Yes, I have seen it on one part. One face stays black, the others will not change. Have not tried other parts yet.
It wasn't important, so I didn't go further with it.

I just ried it and it was ok.  I even chaged the color to green and it was ok.  When I have things like this happen I typically try 2 things first.  Control Q to do a forced rebuild and/or a reboot.  This typically fixes the issue.  if not obviuosly you have to dig deeper.

Scott,

I could repeat your problem to the t, but only when I have Photoworks->Options->System Options->Use Solidworks Materials checked. Otherwise, everything seems to work fine.

RE: Photoworks - mateirals are not being transferred to part faces

I just had the same thing happen to me last week and was about to post it--but figured it out.

What made my problem difficult to resolve is that after unchecking the Use SW Materials box, the problem didn't resolve.  It also didn't resolve after a rebuild.  I had to get into the material editor, make a subtle change, change it back to what I needed, and then the appearance updated.  Very difficult to track what does what.  Perhaps we could use an interface update?  dazed
