Adding a new refrigerator?

Post by Glenn Warner »

Hi and Happy New Year to you all. I have an STL of a refrigerator. How do I get it to behave like the refers already in the system? Looks like I need a jpg image to go along with the STL. Tried loading the STL into the display part editor and saving it to the appliance/refrigerators folder along with a jpg, but that didn't work.

Thanks
Glenn

In the Display Part Editor you can load an image and apply it to the display object.

Other than that, you will have to color each piece individually in the Display Part Editor.

What I'm trying to do is to create an additional selection within the appliances/refrigerator folder. Can this be done or do you have to add it as a display object. There are two refrigerators designs in a multitude of colors that come with the system. Can these choices be expanded by the end user?

There is an older post explaining how to add a 3D fridge as a display object. What's the difference between a display object and an appliance?

Thanks
Glenn
