Render Appearance Library
The Render Appearance Library is a local, read-only library for render appearances. You assign render
appearances to materials using the Materials dialog.
When you change the properties of a render appearance, the modified render appearance is stored as part
of the project file. It is not stored in the read-only Render Appearance Library.
To share a modified render appearance with team members, click File menu
➤
Transfer Project Standards.
Be sure to also make available any custom bitmaps or image files used to define bump patterns or custom
colors used by the render appearance.
