#ALLPLAN RENDERING UPDATE#
Update January 2006 - not a huge amount has changed in this part of Allplan over the years - some small improvements in lighting but I still use Cinema 4D for all my renderings. Still no fix for the problem of textures not rotating with the object. v2004 added the ability to choose the surface for a wall in the Wall Properties setup. Update October 2004 - some changes in v2004, although most of the text below still applies. Lighting and surface settings now stored for each project.
