The <B><A HREF="intensityDifDbAtt.html">diffuse</A></B>, and <B><A HREF="intensitySpeDbAtt.html">specials</A></B> (2) buttons are indicators and
 as such
cannot be activated. When clicking a button in the second, third
 and fourth
row, 48 spheres will be displayed, each representing either a color,
 stone,
wood, or metal property, or a special pattern. Click the appropriate
 sphere to
assign its color or property to the currently active part of the

 camera
window bars.

<B><A NAME="overwriteattrbt">overwrite</A> <A NAME="addattrbt">attrbt</A></B><BR>
The toggle button <B><A HREF="#overwriteattrbt">overwrite attrbt</A></B> lets you select between overwriting
assigned attributes (<B><A HREF="#overwriteattrbt">overwrite attrbt</A></B> active) and adding attributes
 to
already assigned attributes (<B><A HREF="#addattrbt">add attrbt</A></B> active). In the status area,
 you
can always check the number of attributes that define the assigned
'material' (attr 0001 of 0001). Use <B><A HREF="nextAtt.html">next</A></B> and <B><A HREF="previousAtt.html">previous</A></B> to display
 the
attributes one after the other.
