Import problem from materials file (render content) to non-mesh objects

Do polished metals(.rmtl)'s imported from materials file (render content) only show on mesh objects?

In viewing in Render mode they are not actualizing on my solid objects…

Do they not work on polygons?..

If not where would I find greater detail regarding import limitations; the manuals don’t say anything about my problem…

Thanks for any help…

Hi Allen -

Please post a simple 3dm file that shows the issue that you are running into.

Hi @Allen_Staneruck,

Materials will work on Mesh or NURBS (surface/polysurface/solids) objects. My first guess is that your object may be a block instance requiring you to change the material when editing the instance. Post a 3dm if that doesn’t help.
