Title: Material names from Solid
Post by: yalapeak on September 25, 2012, 02:11:40 AM
Is there a possibility to get the material names, which i applied in solidworks, get displayed in keyshot?
For example, I apply in Solid "White shiny plastic", after importing in KS, I only get "material:255:255:255".

If you use the plugin, you can get the material names.

I have checked the plugin for Solid, really nice to jump directly to Keyshot. But there is still the same problem, the material name is shown like "material:255:255:255"

Any other ideas?

Sorry for the incorrect information. We had this at some point but tool it out to match the importer so updating with "retain material" works.
