Getting the Object's Color or Texture to Bleed Through

For .3ds and .ac files, you can have the FlexSim object's color bleed through on certain shapes in the file. You can do this in one of two ways:

  • Give the shape an ambient color value of rgb: (0.235,0.235,0.243) in your 3D software
  • Append "_fsclr" to the end of the shape's material name in your 3D software

For .3ds and .ac files, you can also have the FlexSim object's defined texture show up on the shape instead of the texture defined in the file. To do this, just add a texture named fstx.png to the object in your 3D software.
