Hello,

I am a new user to Keyshot 5 as it was included with our Solid Edge license..
I am trying to use the software however when I drag a material from the library onto the model or onto the model description in the scene it seems to be copying the wrong material.

If I drag a painted finish it applies an aluminium etc,
I only have the defaults materials loaded,
if I drag the first Axalta ( a little lilac) it applies #1
and the 2nd (Amazing grape) applies a little lilac

is there a table that references the icons to the materials?

I have uninstalled and removed as much as I could find from the files and registry but the same happens after reinstalling,  a demo install on another computer works fine..

This is a work laptop so Keyshot is installed with admin rights, with install for any user selected.

Everything else is set to defaults,

Please can anybody point me in the right direction as I could not find a hint in the forums..

Thank you for any help.

****Edit****

I have now tried to use Keyshot on my laptop with admin rights, it seems to work as expected..
I have also found that my standard user account does not save the keyshot preferences and keeps changing settings.
