Following on from my earlier merged comments.
On a fast machine (liek this quad or an 8 core) the realtimeperformance is good enough to let it sit for a few seconds untilthe preview updates with enough resolution to let you accuratelyapply to faces etc. On an older machine I doubt this is the case.
Dynamic highlighting would be the best option for sure, or if notthat then being able to preselect faces and objects and having aright click option on the material to "apply to selected entities"- but that of course requires that you can pre select!
No, being realistic with the timescales I suggest having a simplekeyboard shortcut to suspend updates or turn off some of therealtime features to speed up rendering. Again, this is somethingHypershot has learned from in that when it first came out it had nooptions, but as the users commented that they were actually usingsingle core machines and not 8 core monster Macs we needed thecapability to stop the live updates so that we could quickly applymaterials and then do the updates.
I don;t know how easy this would be to implenet in PhotoView butcould you offer a couple of options:
1. Turn of all view updates
2. Turn of self shadowing in the view
I think myself that as the link into SolidWorks becomes moredefined this will be a minor issue to many users but it will be anissue for those standalone users.
