Converting Face Optical Properties

This procedure helps you convert an existing Face Optical Properties material (FOP) into a new FOP based on the material properties of a selected Volume/Surface Optical Properties material (VOP/SOP) while keeping the faces of the existing FOP.

To convert a FOP:

Tip: Right-click a Material and click Select associated geometry to highlight in the 3D view the geometries on which the material is applied.
  1. Select a SOP/VOP material from the Library panel or the Material list in the Simulation tree.
  2. Drag the SOP/VOP material on the FOP material to convert.
    The Create new FOP window appears.
  3. Click OK to create the new FOP.
The new FOP is created based on the same material properties as the SOP/VOP material used, and is assigned to the faces on which the converted FOP was applied. The converted FOP becomes unused.
