With ray tracing set to interactive the results are marginal. I can kind of see a pattern but it's anything but impressive. When set to good the result is not much better and when set to best there is no sign of the knurl? The project I tried has 14 parts, 3 of which have knurled details. It took 42 sec to render the ray tracing and any zooming or rotating causes the ray tracing to repeat.
I zoomed in to get a better look at the knurl details, it took considerably longer to render and still no knurl detail. Pic 1. The chrome knob in the center of the pic, the small knob above and to the right and the knob to the right of that are supposed to be knurled.
This image was captured after ray tracing using the best option. Realistic was selected in the view panel. I was using knurled 45 the default knurl setting in in these pics. Click the Diagnostics button and paste the screen shot here. Not familiar with your graphics card. That may be the issue. There's some updated info in the wiki help relating to migration of materials - perhaps that will cover your issues with knurl not appearing:.
If you need to use the Realistic view mode but don't want the performance hit from Ray Tracing then the best solution is to switch it off:. Thanks Chris, I tried that and it helped, but I found that the knurl issue is what I believe to be a scaling error in Inventor I drew an extruded cylinder mm 8 in diameter and applied the knurl to one face.
It rendered the knurl quite large on that part. If you think about what a knurl would look like on an 8 inch cylinder, it would appear quite small, not so in Inventor See pic Large Part. See pic Small Part. On the new Appearance Editor, bottom left , there is a setting for Display Units see attached image. What do you have that set to? Does it correspond to the units of the knurled parts?
I added the thumbscrew the small part to this post. This is not the only part I have seen this on though. The issue is that for your knurled appearance the scale of the bitmap file being used is many times larger than you need it.
See "Knurl Appearance Scaling. I'm sure you can work out how I got from After you've done this you can use the Appearance Adjust command from the Quick Access Toolbar, to dynamically change the scaling by dragging the glyphs after you've selected the surface. See "Knurl Appearance Adjust. Thanks Chris!! I don't know how I missed scaling in the image edit dialog but obviously I did. Perhaps I messed with it but also had some other setting set incorrectly and then dismissed it as a possible solution.
So now at least I have success with a custom appearance, but how about the native Knurled 45 appearance? It's not working for me either which is what led to making the custom appearance to begin with. The checkering on this pistol grip just about killed my machine, but it was done with the approach I mentioned, but with multiple paths. I just learned how to apply knurling in Inventor Change view to realistic then pick on the surface, right click and select properties.
This will give you a menu to choose from. I am not familiar with but hopefully this will work for you. The "hatch" method posted above will allow you to show a knurl without making the view shaded or having to physically model the knurl.. I had overlooked your previous post regarding hatching. That is a quick and easy way to apply an appearance pattern. I have since applied the "diamond" pattern to a part using the method I described, however after placing in an assembly the pattern disappears and I have to re-do the pattern I apply the pattern to the piece while in the assembly which I thought was odd.
This is required each time I save and re-open the file. I am about to try your method to see if the feature remains in the assembly.
Thanks again for the tip. Features applied at the assembly level do not transfer to the part unless you were editing the part in the context of an assembly..
There is no reason that you need to apply the appearance at the assembly level.. Do it at the part level.. Contents 1 How do you add a knurling in Inventor?

The amount should be smaller than your minimum measurement settings used in your IDW's. Blair wrote in message news discussion. Message 5 of 7. If you're using Inventor 10, then you have another option. Apply the new style to the face of the part, adjust the surface style scale to meet your needs.
