Where is setting assign by object in V7?

Rendering

Hi,
I am unable to do any mesh work in V7.
There seems to be a setting missing.
post was moved to rendering and then went off radar., no one reads posts there ?
asking here as more folk visit this branch.

urgent need. today.

I am used to doing:-
to get a better texture image one selects the object, go toothpaste (icon) (yes i know its a paint tube but i forever think toothpaste !) and choose asign material by, and change layer to object, then browse to the jpg that was exported along with the .obj,

Just where is that as I am dead in the water here., and deadline now today.

crying for help…sob !

Hi Steve -

When you do that in Rhino 5, you create a new material, so you need to do the same in Rhino 7.

Since you say you have a .jpg file that should be the material, I suppose I’d pick the “Picture” material.

Hi Wim,
In V5 I have to change the assign by layer to assign by object.

not sure if you are choosing ‘layer’ as opposed to ‘object’ as I do iin V5

In V7 do we need to keep it as layer and not alter it to object ?

Not sure if thats so, how V5 required Object and V7 requires Layer, bit like going on green on traffic lights and then going on red, bit scary !

Hi Steve -

No, just like in Rhino 5, you need to change it from the default “by layer” to something specific for the object.

This shows the object properties for the object that is selected.
Clicking “Use a new material” (or picking an existing material from the list if applicable) will change the assignment to object-specific.
