As of the 2011.a version, the 3D views of CYPECAD and Metal 3D contain a new option which displays elements with textures resembling the real colours of the material they are made out of. The user can choose to represent the 3D view with or without the materials:
- Without materials
Displays the materials that existed until now, which differentiated the elements of the 3D view, even if they consisted of the same material. - With materials
Displays the elements of the 3d view with textures which resemble their real colours.
