Material

Modifies the materials used in the 3D model. The material reference (Matref) attribute can be modified so that attributes such as weight and COG can be calculated and then used with the checking and reporting functionality of the application.

You can assign a material (Matref) to the CE, list or a picked element. The material part of the Set Material window is populated with a list of available materials for selection. If a material is not available for selection, refer to the administrator for further information.

From the drop-down menu select the element to be modified. It can be the CE, selected from a collection or picked with the cursor in the 3D view.

If the Cascade Material to all offspring check box is selected, any associated items (for example: fittings) have their material changed as well.

From the Materials list, select the required material.

Click Apply to change the material or click Cancel to discard any information and close the Set Material window.
