Create render materials for enhancing the rendered views of surfaces, corridor models, pipes, structures, and interferences.
You use a render material to add a realistic look to an object in AutoCAD Civil 3D. The material you select for visualization must exist in the current drawing.
After you create a render material, you can save it to a drawing template or copy it to other drawings.
If, at rendering time, the material specified as the render material cannot be found in the drawing, the AutoCAD GLOBAL material is used.
- To open the Materials window, click View menu

For instructions about how to create a render material, see "Create New Materials" in the AutoCAD User’s Guide.
