Materials dont show?

[ChloeG]

Hello everyone,

 

i got a little problem, materials in my 3d space work just perfectly on autocad architecture at my university, however, i have autocad at home, and for some reason my materials dont show. for instance, i have wooden flooring, on autocad it just comes out as a brown coloured floor. What do i dooo?

 

Cheers. Have a great weekend.

adjust he material scaling at material library and properties

Before adjust your material,you will need to attach "material map" "planner" "reset"..!

huh? Im sorry you guys, that makes no sense to meee. lol. I am a total beginner. well not total but yeah.

 

what im trying to say is - when i move materials off toolpalettee for instance to the materials tab on the render toolbar. the material doesnt come up like they did on autocad architecture. All i get is the colour of the material. e.g if i picked wood. my object will turn brown. no texture no nothing.

 

papagyi, im not sure what you are on about. where do i attach material map?

thanksssss

For material attach ....http://www.we-r-here.com/cad/tutorials/level_3/3-14.htm

For mapping ....http://www.we-r-here.com/cad/tutorials/level_3/3-13.htm

Then you should study all this tutorials.

I know all about these we have done them as excerises in my class thanks though the problem is, when i try to apply a material on my personal laptop using autocad, i t doesnt work. All i see is a colour.

but when i've done that same tutorial on a computer in the university using autocad architecture it worked just fine.

What version do you use at home?

[papagyi]

Your texture problem were be rendering or visual view?

My second link is "papagyi, im not sure what you are on about. where do i attach material map?" for your question!...my idea is are you sure suitable material mapping to your object before adjust material scale?Then you should

set material scale according to your object size.If not ,can you post your dwg

with problem part only?

are you saying you want the materials displayed in conceptual or realsitic visual style?
