Patch color still around?

[Roger]

There was an option in older versions of AM to set the patch color of something - this was a quick and dirty way to get a "textured" model without creating a material - I used it to get a rough idea of what things would look like.

 

Do they still have patch materials or no? I can't find them. I thought you could just make a selection, right click, and that would be an option - at which point you would get the color picker to pick the patch color.

 

Its been a while since I've used it, the last version I can remember it being in was v12 or v13. Maybe it was just moved.

"patch Image"?

 

create a group, and select apply patch image and choose an image you have loaded already

This is still available at the exact same spot. Activate the projectworkspace window select some patches in the modelling window and rename the group in the pws which was automatically created. Click on the surface property and on the diffuse color entry... there is the color picker.
