Automatically Assign MCode to Materials

Noor
  • Updated

Overview

Selecting the correct MCode is important for achieving accurate material visualisation in renders. However, the large number of available MCode options can make the process time-consuming and difficult.
This feature automatically identifies the most suitable MCode for selected materials based on the material's name, description, and base colour texture. This helps reduce manual effort and improves consistency across materials.
 

How It Works

  1. Select the materials that you want to update.
  2. Open the Actions menu at the bottom of the Materials window.
  3. Run the Assign MCode command.
  4. The system analyses each selected material and assigns the best matching MCode.
  5. A confirmation window displays:
    • The material texture
    • The material name
    • The assigned MCode
    • The previous and new MCode values, if the material already had an MCode assigned.
  6. Review the proposed changes and select Confirm to apply the changes or Cancel to discard them.
  7. Confirmed updates appear in Pending Changes.
