.. note::

   The support of Creo 7 is under process and our team is doing its maximum to release it in a short period of time.

*******************************************
CATIA V5 cylindrical and spherical textures
*******************************************

CATIA V5 now supports textures with *planar*, *cylindrical* and *spherical* projection modes.
For the textures to be loaded, they must be located aside the model file within the file system.

*******************************
New reading option for CATIA V5
*******************************

It is now possible to decide whether materials are read or not upon reading a CATIA V5 file.
By setting the option :member:`A3DRWParamsCatiaV5Data.m_bUseMaterialRendering` to `A3D_TRUE` the rendering will use the materials.
This is the same as rendering with the option "Shaded with Materials" set within CATIA V5.

*************************
