Column rendering VW9.5.3

[Yellowstone Construction]

I just entered 6 columns onto a building we're designing. Upon rendering, the columns are white. This happens with any texture chosen. Am I missing something? Any clues would be helpful.

If you used the column TOOL in the tools palette, you apply textures thru classes which you set in the OIP.

The finish settings at the bottom of the OIP have style settings.

Select the style number you want for each finish section.

These styles will create the corresponding class name.

Go to the classes dialog box (organize>classes...) and set the texture or color for the style class you want.

NOW you will be able to render with your desired texture!
