non-visible materials of imported 3ds objects in autocad

[cristiano.chiavaroli]

Good morning to all and wishes to all women.
It's the first time I've been writing on the forum, because I've been writing recently, driven by a problem I can't solve. I am making an interior rendering with autocad 2010 and I imported furniture models already made in 3ds format. Can you tell me why the materials of these imported objects don't appear in rendering, but remain white or the color of the layer they have? Thank you very much.

How do you know that in .3ds models there are applied materials?

I decide when the "multiple material objects" window appears, you can choose one of these options: always warns,separa for material,assign first material,not assign material. I let the first appear and, once the object is inserted in the scene to be rendered, new materials assigned to the object appear in the material window.

Well, then you just have to set based on the layers which material to apply, since they are already loaded into the material browser

...I actually applied the material of the object in question to the layer of another object I had imported and put out of the scene to render. Thanks for the attention.

but is it an autocad plug-in? and what advantages?
