Part and single material application

[FrankG]

Hi everyone,

I am very new to KeyShot...less that a week, so please forgive for questions that I know must be posted somewhere on the forum. I am trying to apply a single material to a single part. When I take the material and drop it on my imported .obj file it turns the entire model that color. The model is very large and having to shut off all the parts for each material application would take very long. Is there a way to only apply the material to just the part.

Thanks,
Frank

I think obj files often come in with all the materials linked together. Try dragging your material to the required part in the scene tree rather than the model itself. Thereafter it will be unlinked'
