Additional Functions

More material functions.jpg

Additional Functions ( Matl more24.PNG ) loads a dialog of functions to help view and trace material settings.

Note

You can assign reflection or glow to a face by right clicking on the face. If the face has a material, you can also use this method to assign the reflection or glow to all faces with the same material. This is usually much easier then using these functions.

These functions are provided for cases where the material you want to set is buried inside of components and/or groups and it would be difficult to access the face directly to modify it.

Usage

To invoke these functions, use the Plus Sign icon on the IRender Toolbar ( Matl more24.PNG ).
