Materials in BricsCAD Shape

BricsCAD Shape includes a collection of materials in the Render materials panel.

Render materials are stored in: C:\ProgramData\Bricsys\RenderMaterials\UserMaterials\.

Open the Render materials panel by clicking the paintbrush icon on the right-hand edge of the screen. Several categories are available. To view all materials that are used in the drawing, select the ”In drawing” category.

To assign a material to an entity in your model:

  • Select the material in the Render materials panel.
  • Select the entity you want to assign the material.
Note: You can apply a material to multiple entities at once by preselecting them.
Note: To remove a material from an entity, use the erase tool and click any entity to remove the material from.

It you want to add materials to the drawing to use later, right-click the material icon and select the "Add to drawing" option.
