Emissive Materials - Front or Both - Always seems to be the wrong way round.

Alex Doran Apr 13, 2017 4:32 AM

Hi there,

Now i have had a fair number of projects to run through Visualize now, and in most of them are some kind of Emissive material (Usually LED's), now when you assign an Emissive material it defaults to "Both Sides", which is ok in a lot of cases but in some is not, in every single Model i have created in Solidworks then imported into Visualize, choosing the Front Only option on the emissive ALWAYS emits the light from the wrong side. Is it possible to have another option to choose just the back face / side?

Hi Alex,

The easiest way to solve this is:

1) Select the plane from the Viewport (either model or part mode)
2) Enable the 'Move' tool from the Main Toolbar
3) Simply hold Shift and then rotate the emissive plane by dragging around the correct axis to rotate the plane. Holding Shift while rotating snaps the movements into 15 degree amounts...so you can easily rotate it 180 degrees that way.
