Assigning Materials to the solids in model developed

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Sir,

I was trying to assign material to the solids in the model. I am facing difficulties in assigning materials as the model kept on changing different colours and I am not sure whether my selection is correct or not.

And, I have created a pipe layout using various extrude and revolve commands, should I select each operation as a seperate solid for assigning material or can I select everything at once? I am facing problem as each extrude or revolve operation's output is acting as a different solid while assigning.

Hi

check the doc for the color code, with the newer version different material also color differently the model, this might lead you into error.


Before, or without this material coloring, you selected an item an get it highlighted in red, right click to transfer to the "selection list", thent it becomes blue, and if you select an single item among others in the selection list it goes green so long it is selected (then by hitting a right click you deselect it from the "selection list"

Good luck
