Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN CATIA
  DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED WITH CATIA
  VERSION 5 RELEASE 14.
  .
  INCIDENT DIAGNOSIS:
  ASSEMBLY DESIGN / MATERIAL : MATERIAL IS
  NOT VISIBLE WHEN SUBASSEMBLY IS OPENED IN
  NEW WINDOW.
  .
  DOCUMENTATION REFERNECE:
  Infrastructre / Real Time Rendering / Frequently
  Asked Questions / Where is stored a material
  applied onto a product
  .
  MODIFCATION:
  The last frequently asked question has been
  improved and now includes an example for greater
  clarity.
  .
  Two scenarios are found in this:
  Scenario 1:
  1. File / open / Product2.CATProduct
  2. Apply material to Product2.CATProduct.
  --> the material is applied on product2 node and
  stored in Product2.CATProduct (you agree)
  3. View / render style / shading with material
  4. Start / mechanical design / assembly design
  5. Insert / existing component in Product.1
  --> The material, applied on a sub-product node,
  is displayed in spec tree and in 3D window, due to
  step 3
  6. Select product.2 open in new window
  --> The Product2 contains the material and it is
  displayed
  .
  Scenario 2
  1. Start / mechanical design / assembly design
  2. Insert / existing component in Product.1/
  Product2 is inserted in Product1
  3. Insert / new part / create new circular pad
  4. Activate Product2 and apply material
  --> Material is applied on Product2, but stored in
  Product1.CATProduct. The Product2.CATProduct
  document is not modified, and "Save Management"
  command can show it to you.
  5. View / render style / shading with material
  6. Select product.2 open in new window
  --> The Product2 is displayed and do not contain
  any material.
  .
  Confusion here is that specification tree is exactly
  the same in step 5 of both scenaro, but the
  material has not been applied with same manner :
  in the first case, the material is stored in Product2,
  in the second case it is stored in Product1.
  .
  This is now documented properly.
  .
