Put into Library ?

[Sketchrender]

When you make a Library of materials, and use the put ito library, where dose it go?

 

I loose tham all the time, I would think C/My Document?Autodesk/Libraries.

 

But no.

 

So enlighten me please.

 

Thank you

they go into which ever library you had open last

 

if you accidentally save them to the arch and desgin library you will probably find that you have lost you a&d templates. to stop this happening find the a&d templates folder and make it read-only by right clicking and choosing properties.

 

to create your own library, then i suggest create 2 copies of one of your existing libraries, rename one of the .mat files to philsmaterials.mat

 

then inside max open up philsmaterials.mat delete all the materials that are already in there from when you duplicate an existing library

 

save the blank folder with no materials in it.

 

you should then have a blank material library folder called philsmaterials.mat

 

now everytime you create your own material make sure you open that library first.

 

bit of a bitch hey, but you'l soon find that its the only library you work out of
