Add and configure a material conversion

Add a material conversion with the following suggestions:

• You can create any number of material conversions, and multiple material movements can use the same material conversion for the same combination of source material and destination material.

• Add and group material conversions in one location in the project: the Material Conversions node in the root node of the project. When you locate material conversions in one folder, this makes it easier for you to organize and maintain them.

• Use folders to separate material conversions into logical groups.

To add and configure a material conversion

1. Add a material conversion folder. In Project Explorer, right-click Material Conversions, point to Add Item, point to Material Conversions, and then click Material Conversion Folder. A new material conversion folder appears.

   

2. Rename the folder with a meaningful name.

3. (Optional) Use the DisplayOrderGroup property and DisplayOrderIndex property to change the display order of the item.

4. Add a material conversion. Right-click the Material Conversion folder or the Material Conversion root, point to Add Item, point to Material Conversions, and then click Material Conversion. A new material conversion item appears.

   

5. Rename the material conversion with a meaningful name.

6. Configure the properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see Material conversion properties.
