Material Editor > Put to Library
Material Editor menu > Material menu > Put to Library
Put to Library adds the selected material to the current library.
A Put to Library dialog is displayed, which lets you enter a name for the material that’s different from the one you used in the Material Editor.
The material becomes visible in the material library display in the Material/Map Browser. The material is saved to the library file on disk. (You can also save a library by using the Save button in the Material/Map Browser.)
To save a material in a library:
-
Click to select the sample slot that has the material you want to save.
-
On the Material Editor toolbar, click Put To Library.
-
A Put To Library dialog is displayed.
-
Either change the material name or leave it as is, and then click OK.
The material is saved in the currently open library. If no library is open, a new library is created. You can save the new library as a file using the Material/Map Browser file controls.
