Colors of model VS color in IDW??

Why do the colors change when I create an IDW?

 

I model a lot of existing structures. And I'm charged with providing realistic renderings/drawings. When I create the IDW the colors are all wrong! Is there a way to have the rendered views inside the IDW match the model?

 

Thanks,

Drew

Hi!

 

The parts have his own color, but inside an assembly can have the colors you want, even different colors in different view representation.

 

So the question is: are you placing the assembly or the parts in the idw?

The lighting style in an idw is different from the lighting style in the model files..

Hence the colors will look different..

 

Modifying the lighting style in an idw is difficult.. (I think you have to hack an xml file or something)..

 

If you want to show a rendering then save that as an image and insert that into the drawing..
