Hello, me again, i face some problems when opening some 3ds models in artlantis: some of them have really weird grouping: for example i have downloaded a model with a house, and the glass of the windows is grouped with a part of te roof, and when i change the texture of the glass it will also change the texture of that roof part. Is there any way that i can separate te elements of this groups?
Thank you

There is a feature called Reapply material, check the help menu for details.
The principle is this: you duplicate an item in the material list, to create an "empty" item to be assigned to the new, ungrouped face. Select it, and use the icons that appear in the upper side of the list. First you open the command, make the selection and close the command. It cannot be undone, and it won't be referenced either when using the Reference file feature.
I cannot find how to do this anywhere? there is no mention of it in the help menu. I'm trying to ungroup a car to try and get the wheels spinning.
thanks

Hi Nicu,
I think I know what you mean. You can solve your problem in your 3d-modelling software. I use Sketchup and had the same problem in the very beginning of working with both programs. Make sure all te faces are in the right direction. And give different textures to the elements you want them to be seperated. In atl you'll see that the different elements are seperated.
Good luck and if you have further questions, reply..
