I find a problem with crude, I am not sure about my sugestion. I need other opinions...

Sobre as ferramentas do painel de controle Materials no AutoCAD 2008:

"The Materials control panel allows you to create and apply textures to your 3D objects. The pattern emerges when you use the Render control panel to create a rendered view of your model. A CRUDE representation of the material also appears when you use the Realistic visual style in your workspace."

Obrigada!

Crude = Unfinished, rudimentary, rough sketch uma representação do material sem acabamento

Explanation:
I think that the word crude in this case does not actually imply that the material is natural, but rather that the material is "represented/illustrated" in a different part of the program/software - in this case, the workspace. You can also view a "crude representation of the material", meaning you can get an idea of what it looks like, a rough sketch, when you use the Realistic visual style...

'Sem acabamento' is mostly used for interior design and actual structural projects, so I suppose there is a better word for 'unfinished' in terms of project/architectural design.
