To View Maps Interactively

To view maps interactively:

1. Select an object.
2. In the object's parameters, make sure that Generate Mapping Coords. is on. (If this option isn't enabled, the object can't be mapped.)

   If the object type does not have a mapping coordinates checkbox, apply a UVW Map modifier.

3. In the Material Editor, apply the mapped material to the object.
4. Turn on (Show Shaded Material In Viewport), or with a Standard, Arch & Design, or Autodesk material, choose and then turn on (Show Realistic Material In Viewport).

   The map appears on objects assigned the material in all shaded viewports. Now when you adjust a map, the viewports update to display the adjustments.

To turn off interactive texture display:

• Turn off (Show Shaded/Realistic Map In Viewport).

  The object is still shaded but the map no longer appears.
