So,
I finally get to play around with RealView in 2008, and I'm excitedto be able to show different surface finishes for different parts(machined, cast, painted), however I have found that some of thesedon't match what we produce, at all.
The "cast aluminum" is very reflective, whereas the investmentcastings and sand castings that we use are both much darker, andalmost completely matte. The "matte aluminum" does not have thebump mapping of the casting...
I'm guessing that there is some way to change these properties inPhotoWorks? I have looked at the .p2m files, and I guess I couldchange them by hand (editing the code), but is there an editorincluded with the software? I have not found any way in regularSolidworks, but how about in Office Premium with PhotoWorks?
I'm almost itching to create a macro to churn out these things,either in SW or maybe MS Access. But, you know, if I can conceivehow to make a macro, you'd think SW Corp. could code it in asnap...SolidworksUser Interface
