The Surface Dialog

The Surface dialog allows you to apply a veneer or surfacing to a board's surface. You must select a board surface before you can open this dialog.

You can apply a veneer to both surfaces of a board, and the veneer can be different for each surface. The veneer covers the entire board surface it is applied to.

When you use a material as a veneer, SketchList 3D ignores the thickness of the material in other words, the board that you're applying the surface to remains at its original thickness. This means you can also use this dialog within SketchList 3D to create a painted effect for a board.

The Surface dialog has two areas:

• The surfacing materials list. Select a material from the list to act as a veneer. If no materials appear in the list, you can create a surfacing material in the Material Database.
• The Surface Orientation pane. Select the surfacing material's grain orientation.
