I have a section cut (the cut feature is in the assembly) and I want to apply a texture to just the cut face, to make it look like machined metal. But when I try to apply a texture to the cut feature although it looks like SW has no problem with it the face doesn't change in the render. It didn't make a difference if I changed a face color in the part model instead, in case that matters.
I am using SW2011SP4.0 and the final render quality is set at maximum.
I have seen renders with this done (at least with the section faces colored differently) so I know that it is possible, I just can't figure out. Any suggesions?
Thanks,
Dan
You need to propogate the assembly cut down to the part level. The appearances have to be applied at the part level as well for this to work.
If you have a large assembly this could be very time consuming
