2 novice questions..

[only3d]

im not really a novice just a little lazy (or buisy 2 b more accurate)

so #1- how do i get the materials 2 show in working mode without rendering

 

and #2- how do i insert an image (like raster image in autocad)

 

tnx!

 

p.s.- can i do #1 in viz3 ?

#1 - in the material editor there is button, just below the material slots, that is a checkered box. toggling this on and off will show or not show your material in the viewport. - this is done on an individual material basis

 

#2 - views / viewport background or alt+b

cheers mate!

only 1 problem- after i insert the image it stays constant in viewport size

so is there a way to load it so it remains in its original size?

(its hard 2 model by it if it changes every zoom in or out)

 

tnx in advance

hit alt+b and in the aspect ratio group select Match Bitmap
