How to remove materials
Is this possible to set no any material at all on an object? Because I want to customize the materials in another software. Thanks.

Re: How to remove materials
Not quite sure what you mean, but you can use the colors at the bottom left to set to different, well surface colors I call them. So when you load it up into another program you can use the surface colors to set as materials. That's how I do it with AC3D and Vue.

Re: How to remove materials
My understanding is that all surfaces have to have at least a "default" material ( otherwise you couldn't see them ). This does not stop you from applying materials in other programs. I usually use the different collors to keep track of different objects / assemblys in my model and then apply materials ( including bump maps ) and textures in another program such as Cararra or Swift 3d. The main advantage of AC3D is speed, I have several, more powerful programs in my arsenal, but almost always start out in AC3D and sometimes I do the whole project there.
