What's new

Is there a general how to ?

I have keyshot installed I can open the files from the 'Render" button in Alibre, when I set a desired material finish how do I return to Alibre and have that setting follow me back?

Or am I supposed to model my alibre parts in Keyshot and just create images? It be nice to take the material finish features back to alibre.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

No - Keyshot is a separate photo -rendering package, to let you make 'pretty pictures' of things you haven't yet built after modelling them in Alibre Design. You have limited options to set colour, reflectivity, and lighting inside Alibre design (that's it).

I think the only data transferred from Alibre to Keyshot is geometry and part colour. I dont think anything goes the other way.

Maybe a very brief technical description fom Max and the Alibre team can shed further light on how LiveLinking is curently utilised and maybe any sneeky hints at any future plans to improve the LiveLinking exprience (i.e. Materials?)
