[ABD v8i SS5] Different rendering color on the same scene

Hi,

All handles on this scene are the same but some of them are rendered as gray and some them are rendered as white. There was no material assignment/attachment on the handles. Then we assigned material, after then attached material but results are the same.

How can we solve this problem?

Kind regards,

  • Thank you Jerry and Ron.

    When you drop outer cell and attach material to all surfaces, it works fine. But it is slowing down the application and material editor because of many pieces of surfaces (549 elements for each handle). The origin of the handle is STEP.

    There are also User Data Linkage attributes which increases element size on each surface. I hope there is a way to delete User Data Linkages because they seem unneeded.

    It would be the best solution to remodel the handle as a single solid/surface using existing surfaces.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Sedat,

    Your can stitch all of the pieces of each handle together to improve the performance.

    Key-in Facet Modify Stitch and in Tool Settings choose the left icon "Stitch Mesh". Now for each handle, drag select all of the pieces and data point to accept to create a new mesh from the pieces.

    This will reduce the 549 pieces to 1 mesh for each handle.

    Regards,
    Ron

  • Just weighing in on this because I've always been curious about different types of geometry and their influence of file size/ performance.

    I have no doubt Jerry and Ron's advice is sound, but surely Sedat's own suggestion of a single extruded solid is the best solution?

    Ron - would your suggested single mesh not still have inherent data for each of it's original 549 pieces? It would be interesting to see a table of file size for something as simple as this - would the following hypothethical be realistic, or am I missing something?

    1. handle made up of 549 elements = 1.78 Mb

    2. 549 elements stitched into a mesh = 50kb

    3. single element, extruded solid = 1kb
