This task explains how to copy the rendering
parameters (i.e. lighting and texture parameters) from one material to

Open the
Materials.CATProduct document. |

-
Select the Gold material applied to Part2 in
the specification tree.

Click OK to validate.
The rendering parameters (i.e. lighting and texture
parameters) have been replaced on the selected material.
In our example, we chose the Italian Marble material
from the Stone family: |

 |
The material name displayed in the specification tree is identical but
the lighting and texture properties of Gold have been replaced
by the lighting and texture properties of Italian Marble:
