jayellis Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Why can't I see any changes in 3d when material definitions are adjusted? Version X6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Here are some ideas: 1. 3D views can be rendered using different methods. If you are using Vector View, and you make a change to the material texture, but not the pattern or color, you may not see a difference until you switch to Standard or another method of rendering. 2. The materials can be defined and assigned in different ways. For instance, the exterior finish of a wall can be defined in the Wall Specification dbx (Wall Specification>Materials>Exterior Wall Surface), or in the Wall Type Definitions dbx (this is the the default). So, if you're making a change to the material using the Wall Type Definition, but you've "painted over" that default material using the Wall Specification dbx or with the Spray Can, you won't see a change until you remove the material applied to the Exterior Wall Surface. Posting a plan, or some pictures, will help us narrow things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayellis Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks Robert. I understand things better now and your advise worked great. Just using the wrong camera view. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
