advanced rendering for AutoCAD
Is there a way, other than creating a duplicate model, to save all material assignments?
I have a building with several radically different finish schemes and I would like to be able to adjust minor aspects of each scheme as the Client refines their considerations.
Reassigning entire finishes is cumbersome and I have never had to make such profound jumps back and forth between different assignment configurations.
* Normally my workflow is to adjust just one or two aspects of a model and render each iteration so I have never really searched out the limitations of the AR5 material assignments.
On a side note: Last week I did have a boss ask to strip off all the materials and render the model as a gray mass study - then go back and continue working as before. Apart from creating a duplicate model I would have been forced to remove all the materials and then reassign them all over again. Not the best of situations.
