IvorMills Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am having a problem with the appearance of appliances, they just render in shades of very dark grey. Other items seem to render fine, it seems it is just appliances for some reason. Any ideas?

KirkClemons Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 You can use my generic gray metal material with texture. I made it seamless but usually it looks best if you select stretch to fit in the material properties. gray-metal.calibz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I noticed the same thing so I made a quick Stainless Steel Library and posted it here https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/128-stainless-steel-library/?hl=%2Bstainless+%2Bsteel and here Where Kirk has another one too. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/2563-stainless-steel-and-other-metals-add-yours-please/?hl=stainless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvorMills Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I have downloaded the stainless steel textures, is there a guide on how to install them? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkClemons Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Other than the program help, yes, there is a guide here: http://homedesigner.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00865/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 With the HD Program Open , just double click on the file, where-ever you downloaded it too and you will find the new library in your USER LIBRARY under STAINLESS STEEL. if that doesn't work for some reason you can also use the Library>Import Library>Import Calibz File option from the manual from the menu select Library> Import Library to display the Import Library Data dialog. Browse to the .calibz file that you want to import and select the file so that its name displays in the File Name field. Click the Open button. A progress bar will display, telling you the progress of each library data file as it is imported. Once imported, each file will be located in the User Catalog of the Library Browser.
