Before I start asking all kinds of questions, is there a reference, other than the HTML manual, that describes adding materials to objects?

Thanks...

Hi Mike,

There is a walkthrough at the top of this forum, which is not complete, but should get you started. You are probably wondering about applying to faces and features, and there is a caveat to this: first select the parent body, look in Object Properties toolbar, and toggle-on the 'enable multi-materials' switch. When the plugin is updated, this will automatically happen when you first attempt to apply a material to a face or feature...the switch (which was a last-minute addition) is a fairly-important optimization, since things operate much quicker when the plugin doesn't have to search every face of a body when looking for materials.

Sure feel free to ask if you have any specific questions.

Cheers,

JD

Yes... that little detail has thrown me... I read the post; I just need to absorb it...
