d7man2000 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Can someone help me with reloading scenes in 3d studio max when importing objects from ADT( Architectural Desktop/Autocad)? Materials are not preserved. Everytime when I reload materials are not recognized on objects that did not change. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay othman Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Check use scene materials on reload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Check use scene materials on reload to elaborate a bit unless they've fixed this (which i doubt) you need to make sure you have a preset that is set to hold the materials on reload when you do the initial attachment. If you don't set this from the start it doesn't work later on as you are experiencing. Check the advanced tab for the two material option boxes.

d7man2000 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 thanks guys, but I checked both boxes on reload for materials and Vray materials are still not preserved. BrianKitts, what do you mean by "presets"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Burns Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You are only supposed to check "scene materials on reload" as the guys said. I'm not to sure what scene material definitions are. Maybe someone could explain this one once and for all as I have seen this a couple of times with no explanation what it does. You can save a preset when you get it right and use that all the time it is in the basic tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay othman Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I Think you have to start checking this "Use Scene Material on Reload" From Beginning from the first time you link the File... I'll Try to Camtasia Record The Process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d7man2000 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 thanks guys video would be helpful you can't set "reload materials" when you attach a file first, I don't see that option, only when reloading a scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
