material assignment
(1/1)

Hello, I was watching the tutorial for flooring. I need to know where exactly the presenter assigned material to the floor. I tried the same steps using a new file but with no material while when I did the same on the provided tutorial files the material is there. I checked the boxes the files had already and found no material assigned to them!!!
Paul Roberts:
Hi,
The material should be assigned directly to the RailClone object. The materials on the source geometry are ignored when being imported into a RailClone style.
Hope that helps,
Paul

But in the sea promenade video tutorial, the materials from the lamp are not ignored when imported right? If I try to reproduce that, it automaticly assings the wall materials to the lamp. Im general I have troubles assigning more than 1 material (for example when there are different geometries included in the railclone obejct). I read in the forum that the materials have to be well prepared, but it doesnt say how to do so ( I am newbie working with railclone). Is there a thread or sth else where this is descriped? I didnt find anything about it in the video tutorials, descriptions or the forum.
Greetings :)

You must prepare a multi-sub material, in the same way as if you were attaching all segment meshes in an unique object.
if i remember well, lamps uses the same muti material of the balustrade (since both are created with the same RC object), so the material was already assigned in a previous step.
