Jim_Allen Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Is there a way to alter the color &/or texture of the stock funiture that comes with the Scenic Elements in VW? My kids really hate the pink dresser they have been using for their projects. Quote Link to comment
jeffroyer Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Once it has been placed there are fields in the OIP to specify the style setting of the various elements. You then need to specify what those style settings are in the class attributes. Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I can't find anything in the OIP settings for color. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 you need to set parts of the furniture to a class say, ?Style-1? then edit the class settings so that ?Style-1? so that it has a texture Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Edit the symbol and change the fill color for the various parts of the object. This goes back to how you would apply material finishes or plain color to an object. The only difference here is that the "object" is a symbol made up of several objects. To change a component about a symbol, edit the symbol to get to the "root" objects. If you want to make the change to the instance in a drawing, edit the symbol in the drawing. To change the color permanently, open the library file, edit the symbol, save the library file. Now, every new instance of that symbol, when pulled from the library, will reflect those made changes.

I tried VW help but didn't find anything about this. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Go to File > Open and find the Scenic Elements file (in Prog Files > VW > Libraries ..etc) In the RB, choose the Scenic Elements file under "OPEN FILES" at the top of the RB. Right click on the symbol and choose Edit. Make changes to the symbol. Save the file. Close the file. The next time the symbol is imported from the library file, any made changes are reflected.
