Changing slab appearance


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

I want to change the appearance of my slabs, but I can't make it work somehow.

This is what I have tried:

1. Set rendering options to "shells".

2. Then chose "object class" for each wall shell.

3. Define the class in the class settings and change shell/object material to the one i wish.

 

But it just doesn't work, the slab stays white (see picture). What am I missing?

*still relevant

 

What is also very curious is the pavement surface which only shows texture in 3d view put not in top/plan view. How can I make it show texture in top/plan view also?

Hi @RichPiano

Change view to ‘Top’ will display texture.

Regarding slab: in Render tab of OIP under Mode you can choose from by object or by component. Try these settings.

set viewport to 'Top' view

Ok "top view" works in the 3d view. But when I set the sheet layer viewport to "top view" it still doesn't show. Compare the screenshot on the left (3D view) to the one on the right (Sheet layer view). Why?

Ok.

1. What type of object are you missing, is it slab, floor...or something else?

2. Have you checked visibility for 'Layers... and Classes...' for missing object (including components) in viewport settings?

Hope this helps.

Are the Layers/Classes set to visible in the Viewport also? When you click the Layers... and Classes... buttons in the Object Info Palette? If they did not exists or where invisible when the viewport was created then they will be set to invisible in the viewport.

 

You can also set visibilities for viewports from the Organization Dialog box.
