Cold Rolled Steel Plate
-
Hello friends
I'm looking for a cold rolled steel material. If you don't know what this looks like by name it is steel that is pressed and formed by cold rollers. This usually leave a slight discoloration at the edges.Anybody seen or have something like this?

Hey Ypnos1. The problem you have with this is that the discolouration where the sheet metal is rolled depends on the profile of the item be it purlin, channel etc...
You this would be quite difficult to replicate in SketchUp with a single texture would be quite awkward. There are 2 option I can suggest:
Create 2 textures (1 for the main metal and one slighty different for the change in direction that affects the colour and apply that to separate face or use one metal texture and see if the colour change can be achieved through shading/editing the material properties in a renderer.

I have some models of C & Z cold rolled members based on the dimensions from Garco Metal Buildings if you'd like them. Mostly made up of C8's 10's & 12's by varying thicknesses. Drop a direct mail if you'd like them sent.
