The specification dialogs for most objects include a Materials tab. The Materials tab is where materials are assigned to the selected object and components.
The Materials tab shown above is used to assign materials to an object. The tree on the left lists the components of the selected object that can be assigned materials. Some objects may only have a single component while more complex objects may have many.
Some components contain additional sub-components. The contained items display separately in the components tree.
Select a component in the tree to assign a new material to it.
The two boxes on the right display the color, pattern and the texture of the material that has been assigned to the selected component. If "No Texture" displays in the preview window, either the material has no texture assigned or the texture file could not be found on the system.
Click Library Material to open the Select Library Object dialog. Select a material and click OK to assign that material to the selected component. See "Select Library Object Dialog".
Click Plan Material to open the Plan Material dialog and select a material from those already used in your plan. See "Managing Plan Materials".
Select OK to close the dialog and return to the active view.
