Material on complex profile wall

Mats_Knutsson
Advisor
Hello GDL-ers,

I was trying to make a simple gdl object by saving the 3D model and the add a material parameter. I've done this a dozen times but tonight i got stuck on complex profile wall. The cpw is in the code basically a revolve and it has only one material parameter but nothing happens when I replace the original autoscripted material parameter with my own.
Pls help.

Thanks,
Mats

Of course. It's an autoscripted object.
The material definition aaaa is my material but it only applies to the "intestants" of the pipe and not the surfaces. There should be a material definition for each line in the 2D profile that is revolved. When I do a straight pipe I get it right with autoscripted ----ind(material,"Färg-07"),----

The first Material parameter applies to the two end surfaces.
Then each segment has its own material definition. That is the 4th parameter, according to the GDL Manual.
I modified all 18s to aaaa.

Ahhh!
Beautiful! Thank you very much!
I wrongly assumed the 18 was a statuscode for display. I should have checked the manual before.
