Need to change material of Accordion fold doors
Hello, I recently purchased the Amazon version of SH3D with the 1400 additional models. There is only one model for a bifold accordion door called "Accordion fold doors (by Pencilart)" which is exactly what I need except that the model has a wood (that is to say opaque) frame with 24 glass panels, so you can see what's on the other side in the 3D view.
I'd like to make the panels the same material as the frame (my doors don't have 24 opaque opaque panels either, but I don't care about that difference), so that the door is essentially opaque.
I go into the "Modify furniture" dialogue > Colors and texture > Materials > Modify > Glass (from the two materials used called "Glass" and "White"). This is all very nice and logical so far. But regardless of what I change in the Color or Texture (the two options that look like they might work), the glass remains transparent. So I can select "Blue Wallpaper" as a texture, for example, and the glass looks like blue wallpaper, but it's still transparent and shows what's behind it.
I really want to change the material so that the whole door has material "White" instead of frame "White" and panels "Glass" but something simple that simulates this in the 3D view is fine too.

Re: Need to change material of Accordion fold doors
Download the 3D model of this door, unzip it and open the MTL file it contains with a text editor. Change the last line
d 0.5
by
d 1
to remove the transparency of the glass, and save the changes. Then import the OBJ file in Sweet Home 3D, and change the Glass material by the color/texture of your choice.
