SD-INQ-PART-RENDER-APPEARANCE  [function]

(sd-inq-part-render-appearance part &optional (kind :realized))
Description:
Returns the render appearance, i.e. :material or :color, of the specified part. Kind determines the kind of appearance you want to inquire (attached to contents, attached to instance or the one realized).

Parameters:
part {SEL_ITEM}
kind (optional) one of
:contents - inquire the base appearance (attached to contents)
:instance - inquire the part appearance (attached to instance)
:realized - inquire the realized appearance (i.e. the one used when realizing the part)

Return Value:
:material - if the Rendering module is active and a render material is used during the rendering process.
:color - if the Rendering module is not active or if no render material is used during the rendering process.

The part render appearance can be modified by means of the command PART_PROP:
PART_PROP :APPEARANCE {:MATERIAL or :COLOR}   [terminate action]
PART_PROP :BASE_APPEARANCE {:MATERIAL or :COLOR}   [terminate action]
The Rendering module must be active while executing the above sequences.

The Rendering module must be active while executing the above sequences.

A render material can be removed by setting a-string to "NONE".
The command PART_PROP also supports the copying of render materials. The options are listed in the online reference, see the subdialogs COPY_TO_PART_PROPS_SUB and COPY_FROM_PART_PROPS.
