How to get glass door panel to show/render?

[visard]

Using VW12.5.2 - leaf door panel is indicated as glass and doesn't render as glass. When door render, in object info, is set to none - glass is solid, when set to glass - frame and leaf render as glass, puzzling?

try to set the glazing class to 'style-glazing-1' and use one of the glass textures available. it works pretty good, but you might have to play with it a bit. i think if the class setting are set to solid fill it works...

VISARD. Go to the SETTINGS dialog for the door. In the PARTS>PANEL pane (or tab?)Choose Leaf Type = GLASS. Then click on the VIEW pane (or tab?). In the "special classes" PULLDOWN at the bottom right make sure that BOTH the "INT PANELS" and "EXT PANELS" are set to the same class (Jim's suggestion of using style-glazing 1 is a good one). THEN go into the CLASS SETUP dialog and double click on the class you've chosen. Make sure that "use at creation" is checked and that "use textures at creation" is checked. Choose a texture ("Glass" works fine for me). Exit all dialogs. Now, all of the items in that class sgould exhibit the GLASS texture. HTH's
