Thanks 8etty !

applying materials by components is great.
also framing an object is much better

In the next version there will be more improvements in order to assign materials.

but as soon as i place my object in a scene that is much bigger than the object i want to render, solidworks always frames the whloe scene (but i guess this is due to the wacky 2005 camera in SW)

I know, this is a known issue of SW "camera". In the next swmaxwell version probably there will be 2 modes to work with the camera. None of them is perfect but each covering different aspects.
We are all waiting to SW 2006 to have a good camera, wait just one or two months.

also: first i tried to use planes (surfaces) for the emitters and the floor, but they dont render..as soon as i changed the emitters to small boxes, it worked..but this means i have 12 surfaces emitting light instead of 2 (forgot to extrude the floor to a box, that's why u see no floor)

also: i applied a cool white emitter..but it looks very warm [/quote]

I can't see your render, could you upload it again? It could be because the way SW tesselate bodies. You don't control the direction of normal vectors..Let me study it, we will find a solution soon.

Bye!
