Good Morning Experts,

I found a lot of instructions to assign materials to solids (extrudes). In this case it is Glass. For whatever the reason is, it doesn't work.

I following all instructions to make Glass for the ATTACHED extrude. Maybe someone can make this for me and give some notices with the (maybe) missing words to do so. The Glass shoud be 98 transparent.

Thanks and have a nice Week!

Bogdan

In your example file, you've assigned the material correctly to the solid body.
To see the materials you add to solids, in NX8 you need to be in Studio Display mode.
Attached is a video that shows how that works.
You do need to have a license for that however.
If you don't, you can create a rendered static image (shown in the video) but it will be exactly that a static image.

As Anthony notes, you need to either run the Studio Display mode , Or Render an image.
In your part, the piece of glass is transparent, but since you don't have anything behind it, it will not appear transparent.
The attached image is your part in the Ray traced studio application with an out of the box scene.


Regards,
Tomas
