Simple question

hey GP,

You're gonna check the layer manager on the right side. More than likely it is in template or reference mode which freezes it and makes it unselectable. Once you do that and just make it normal you should be able to select it and add a different shader to the geometry.

Hope that helps.

yeah i thought it was somehting like that, but there are no layers. so what do i do in the layer manager?

On the bottom right side of your UI is where your layer editor should be. Down there you will see a layer that says geometry with a "V" and a "R" in two boxes with a thrid box with a diagonal line in it. The second box is what you want to check. The three settings are "R" for reference, "T" for template, and open with no letters which lets you select the geometry. Once you have changed that you should be able to select the geometry and add any shader you want. If you don't have the layer manager visible on the bottom right side, there are three buttons on the top right side, the one all the way on the right is a show/hide channel box and layer editor. clicking on that will bring it up so you can do the above actions.

that should do it for you.
