Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 6, 2012 Hash Fellow Share Posted August 6, 2012 on "Materials" in the PWS and choose "Import Material". That is standard for loading any material. Navigate to where the material you want is stored and select it. A search for a file that you know the name of ("porcelain.mat") is always a worthy gambit for locating where a file is stored. I believe porcelain.mat is installed with the standard dataset In the case of my V17 the location is: C:\Program Files\Hash Inc\V17.0\Data\Materials\Geometry Don't expect A LOT from porcelain; it is able to somewhat smooth the appearance of a surface, but good splining will get you more.
