If i open the style editor only lightning shows up.
The material is already in the material browser but i can´t assign it to a selection only.

I can export from Revit to 3ds, and the materials come in, but all the material links are broken. How can I import the textures in to 3ds Max? I am trying to do an architectural walkthrough, btw.
View 1 Replies View Relatedthe file is not optimized in any way, I probably made all sorts of bad decisions that have ended up with me having an unwieldy file that is hard to work with, but it's doing the job for me.
However, I have to make the same change to around 30-40 materials that I created which each have their own individual bitmaps assigned to them, as they all have different text on them.
I want to remove the opacity mapping from each one, but opening each one and making the change, then saving it, is ridiculously long winded with the file performing as bad as it is (running on an SSD with an i5 chip and 16gb RAM.....)
So I'd like to know if there is any way to, for instance, open all those materials in a text editor and manually remove the opacity setting. They are all in "scene materials" in my document.
Maybe I could add them to their own library, open a blank document with this library, edit them there, and move them back?
I just had 3ds max hang while I'd updated half the materials
I have Revit 2014 student version installed on my computer.
Í can´t open or change materials. The button with 3 dots in it just will not open.
I am having a very strange issue that appears in the Materials editor within Revit 2013 Update Release 3. If I change a surface or cut hatch pattern within the editor, and then attempt to close out of the editor, go to a different material, or apply the change, the hatch dialog pops right back up again, as if I never closed it. I have found two ways to get out of this obnoxious loop:
1. Use the 'esc' key to back out of the materials dialog (unfortunately no changes are saved).
2. Change the color of the hatch - this allows for the changes to be applied etc.
I've tried resetting the UI and reinstalling Revit to no avail.
Have just installed Revit 2014. Material editor will not open with icon (Manage>materials) or Type Props>Edit Assembly>Material. Additionanl Setings>Material Assests is greyed out. I have gone back to a project where I know the Asset Library is loaded as well as trying in one of the new sample files. Additionaly means I cant add or change any layers in Edit Assembly.

The whole panel selection is not there. If I make a selection of at least two elements I get the load selection button on the modify tab. Is this as design or as forgotten?
At this moment it seems I first have to make a selection in order to load another selection.

I am trying to throw a screen shot up onto a TV model to make my rendering more fun and I can't get it to work right!!!
I duplicated one of the standard plastic materials in Revit's lib and replaced the color with a cutom image (first tried jpg then png). I had to tweak the transforms to get it to fit the screen. Looks great in the camera view but when I render the transforms are off.
Here are some images to illustrate the issue.
I am trying to take a custom counter I created as a family and have it show a material in my project. It seems that no matter how I apply the material parameter to the family type object, type or instanced, the material does not change in the project when I apply any new material. I have opened up other countertops I have used from the Revit Default Casework Family and I can't seem to find a difference in the setup between mine and Revit. I wanted to use an instanced parameter so I can change the material per room where the object is used.

I'm not a scripter but it seems that there is no material defined to place into the slots on re-set. I've recently had a problem with my material editor not giving me acess to slate as i had loaded up my 2010 menus into 2011 but i've since re-installed max and vray and am still getting this.
I have a character using a Multi/SubObject Material with 34 Sub Textures. He will be in a scene where he fades in (opacity change)
Is there a simple way to get all of these textures to go from 0-100 Opacity at the same time?

Is there a way to make a Multi/SubObject Material Into One material?

I upgraded to 3DsMax 2011 and still have some problems navigating the Slate Material Editor. I want to create a Mix material as the "first" material but I'm only able to double click on the Sample Slot to get a standard material in the "View1" as my "first" material. I am able to create a "Mix" node here, but it has to be connected to the "Standard" material and this makes it so that i can not drag the material in to the "Environment and Effects" tab as my "Environment Map".
When i go back to the "Compact Material Editor" (which waists time), I can select the Standard icon but "Maps" is not available in the "Material/Map Browser" when i right click on an open space.
When inserting a content center part for which we have to choose a material, we would like to have a custom material as a default (material with name: "No material selected"). So when selecting no material for this part (for example when the user forgets to select a specific material), the default material (in this case material "No material selected") will be active. In this way, we can see in one view across the BOM which parts have no material assigned yet.
How can this be achieved in the content center (editor)?

Where do I place custom textures I have downloaded so I can See them in the materials browser/library?
I can't drag and drop into the materials library through CAD and cannot figure out the folder location in Win7 X64
The material editor on my desktop is cut-off near toward the end. I cannot reach what I need to reach; the scroll bar won't go anymore downward, though it should.
How can I dock my material editor so that it continues on another column?
Please see screenshot and note the bottom of the material editor.
Due to some reasons I had to (first i've repaired 3ds max, but it couldn't start at all - "not responding" from very first second of opening 3ds max shortcut, and after that) uninstall and reinstall 3ds max 2011. From first open try it had ribbon problem, but ok, not using ribbons too much. But after working for a half day, there's some problems with material editor too...
What i should do now? repair it or uninstall and reinstall it again?
where I can add my own JPEG images to PPX5 Texture library. I've searched the Index and can't find anything. Is it possible to do this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow to assign more than 0-15 material IDs in the old material editor?
I don't use Slate. Does it allow more than 0-15 material IDs?
We're discovering some sort of disturbing differences in some of the shaders in the Slate versus the traditional material editor. You can find them everywhere, but a good example is the Matte/Shadow/Reflection material. Under Additional Params in the Slate node you'll find more parameters than are in the Compact editor (also what is called the Parameter Editor in Slate). Found no information on these extra parameters. See the attached image. Substance maps are another example of different parameters.
The attached image shows parameters missing.
Materials do not show-up in either Iray or Mental ray Compact Material Editor mode.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find where the shader parameters are in the compact material editor in 2013. When In the attached picture, I've shown how it looks when I open it.
I've looked all over online and checked out every rollout in the editor and can't seem to find it anywhere... and all the online tutorials (lynda, etc) say they're for 2013 but are really for 2012.
As the title says - How can I add a material to material library through Slate editor? I created the library and it appears as a tab to the right but how do I place my materials there? I tried dragging and dropping the node but that didn't work. I also tried right-clicking the node and searching there but nothing there either.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIm having trouble with my viewport once my material editor is open. If I try to play my animation once my material editor is up it plays very very choppy. It didn't before I open the material editor. Its happening with all my scenes and I don't have any animated maps or very high res maps in the scene. Most of my scenes are very simple and still getting choppy viewport playback. If I close down the Material editor I still get the same performance when I play my animation. The only thing that I have be able to do to fix this is restarting max. Once I restart max it will work fine as longs as i don't open the material editor up. I have a top of the line machine from HP so i don't know what is going on.
