hi folks,

i`m wondering if there is a workaround for getting e.g. a mac viper in a white body. i tried to give the viper a new material, but if i drag the white material on the symbol (cad view) of the viper, the symbol just gets blue, but the material doesn`t change. has anybody some suggestions?

Thanks in front!

Did you purchase the fixture in a white coating? If such model exists we would be happy to add it in our library since you cannot change the fixture color from within Capture.

what i purchased is the real movinglight - martin mac aura - in a white body :))) ... what i did for my capturefile in order to simulate the white body is exporting the argo mac auro as dwg and reimported it as projectdata. then scaled it a little bigger in polar an set it right over the original (black) mac aura. it looks kinda creapy, but at least it`s something :))) .

well, if you have a better solution or if you can change the mac aura in the library (is it that hard to change the colour of the body?) ... would be my pleasure.

thanks for your quick reply!
