I didn't think Rhinoceros would let you assign multiple materials to a single object, but it was easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Try assigning different materials to each side of a single tubular object like the one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The usual way to assign a material is to select the object, then right-click on the material and select Assign to Object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A single material has been assigned to the entire object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now Ctrl+Shift-click to select the top surface of the tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this state, try assigning another material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A different material was assigned only to the selected top face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I also assigned a different material to the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I thought 3DCAD like Rhinoceros didn't have the concept of material slots, but that's not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
