APPLY MATERIALS 1

[tombak71]

Hi Every1
I'm still considering myself as a new Autocad user when trying to work with solids.
I hope that someone out there can help me solve my problem.

Question is how to Apply materials to 3D solids (eg. rendering house, or apply the different materials to various mechanical parts etc).
Anyone?

Much appreciated
Cheers tombak71

goto menu view/render/materials, import which ones you need (from materials library), then click 'attach', select the object(s). you may have to scale the brick pattern up (try between 250-1000) to see it. at top of render dialogue box choose photo raytrace for best results.
Autocad 2002 onwards has info about all of this in its help files
