Wireframe to "grey" mode ?

[IvanTheKivan]

Hi everyone, I am begginer in 3D and I have AM2003 V11. I have some video presentation of AM in wich tutorial guy made in modeling mode wireframe model and then by pressing "some" button he made it becom grey and mashed like a real object. How to do that? Thanks

with the 8, 9, 0 numberkeys you can switch between modes....

That would be "draw mode".

 

You can use 7/8/9/0 keys for draw modes (the numbers above the letters) - not the numeric keypad, on the numeric keypad, the numbers are used for different views - 2 front, 8 back, 4 & 6 side, 7 birds eye, 5 top and 0 bottom.

Take a look at the yellow box on page 20 of the manual.

Thanks guys..... 8, 9 and 0 are options that I am looking for. It's a hell of a software

"Grey-Mode" = Shaded Mode

"Grey-Mode with Wireframe" = ShadedWireFrame-Mode

"Default" = Hybrid Mode... (eventuelly needed later...)

...In general, Ivan, you'll find that even as a beginner it's worth spending time to memorize keyboard shortcuts. Almost everything in A:M has a shortcut. When you get in the habit of having one hand on the keyboard and the other on the mouse, things go much faster.

 

I'm even building myself a custom keyboard so all the most-used shortcuts are right under my hand, and all with labels so I don't have to remember that "G" stands for Group etc. You probably won't want to go that far, but do get in the habit of using the keyboard.

After you select either 4 or 6 on the numpad - you might need to do a Shift + Z (zoom to show character) - perhaps that is the problem?

Not a few minutes, but nevertheless fast enough, I hope

 

You will need divx to watch this one...

 

Sorry for the bad english...
