How do I show machined finishes on selected surfaces in 3D models?

[Vagulus]

That's it! How do I?

 

 

I can't find it in Autodesk Help or in my textbooks. Google and YouTube were similarly unhelpful. Still, most models I see in books have finish representation.

 

 

How is it done?

 

 

Thanks

You can change part, feature or face Properties.

 

Notice in the image I have the overall part set to a Steel-Cast texture.

Notice that I have set the holes and machined faces to a shinier (I like the Aluminum Polished) texture.

Simply right click on the face you want to change and select Properties.
