Materials & Textures

Video Transcript:

This video shows how to change material properties of a model after importing it in AGi32.
Go to Project Manager.
Load the project named after the file's name. This will load all the entities in the project which are surfaces.
Each surface is named after the layer it is on and they are numbered.
Select surfaces on a specific layer by holding the shift key. Right-click and go to Surface Edit.
Click on Tag Surfaces With Similar Color/ Reflectance as the Current Surface located onthe top menu. This selects all the surfaces enabling you to change the surface properties of all the surfaces together.
One can also assign layers in AGi32 replicating the CAD model. Go to Project Manager and select all the surfaces you want to put in a different layer.
Right-click on project, and make a New Project. Name the project after the layer.
Select the surfaces you want to move to this project (layer). Right-click and select Transfer.
Ths brings up a Transfer dialog box. Select the name of the project you want to transfer these surfaces into.
Now you can select all the surfaces on a given project (layer) simply by checking the box on the left. This becomes a quick way of selecting all surfaces on a given layer in AGi32.
