Materials Library

Use this panel to get an overview of all Material libraries in the project (1). If no libraries are displayed, check if there are any currently active filters (2 and 3). If no filters are active and no libraries are displayed, this means there are no material libraries defined on project level, and the currently opened models contain no material libraries on model level. You can create a new material library by clicking the + button in the bottom right corner (4).

Click a material library to open it. This will display all the materials in this library, and allows you to search on specific materials. If you are not finding the material you are looking for, make sure no filter is active. An active filter is indicated by a green dot over the filter icon.

If any products have been assigned a material, the number of products with this material will be displayed below the material itself. Clicking a material will select all objects with this material.

Click the ellipsis on the right of a material to edit or delete it.

You can edit these materials by changing their name, color, or by adding properties to the material. Material properties such as Mass Density or Thermal Conductivity can be used in Dynamic Properties or objects having this material.

To assign or remove a material to products in the model, use the Inspect Panel.

To create a new material, open a library and click the green Create Material button at the bottom of the panel.
