Material differences

 

 

HI All

 

Want to ask a question, maybe does not matter.

 

 

Window materials, materials are divided into two categories:

 

 

1-Autodesk Physical Assets

 

 

2-Apperance Library

 

 

What exactly are the differences?

 

Please reply if you have a convincing tell us.

Hi,
Actually Materials is divided into 2 areas, material editor and material assets.
Each material has 4 assets: Graphics (Default for all materials containing cut and surface pattern and shaded colour)
Appearance (For rendering)
Physical (For Structural Properties)
Thermal (For MEP Properties)

The same asset may be applied to different materials (An asset is an external set of properties that may be added to any material).

Hope this helps.

HI

 

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

 

So if you want to view, structural and MEP and Architecture.

 

 

When I need to render All they have to do with material Appearance.

 

 

 

If you would like to analyze the structure, the materials I use Physical This means they have to re-change materials.

Hi,
No you don't. Every material in the material editor can contain 4 material assets (graphics by default) and the other 3 are optional. So you can have all 4 assets for one single material.
