Is there a way to temporarily disable the decals applied to a model in Ray Traced Studio? I don't want to delete the decals from the model/assembly because they have been carefully positioned. Is there a rendering setting that controls the display of the decals maybe?
 
I suspect not, particularly if you still want to see the rest of the model fully rendered. Of course, you could simply extract faces from your model and place the decals on them instead of the actual faces of the model then you could simply hide/suppress these extracted faces which will take the decals with them.

OK thanks John...
 
John, Do Decals use external image files when they have been created, i.e if I move the part to a location where my load options doesn't find the image, will the Decal still render ?
I remember that somewhere back in time , materials with mapped images had this characteristic.

Regards,
Tomas


 
Tomas,

NX 10 embeds the Decal image data directly within the part files.

HTH,
