Change the material of a part

When you create or modify a part, you can select the material and grade from a list that contains all the materials available in the material catalog.

  1. Double-click a part to open the part properties in the property pane.
  2. Click the ... button next to the Material box.

    The Select Material dialog box appears.

  3. If needed, define what material information you want to see.
    • To include aliases for material grades in the list, select the Show aliases check box.

    • To see all the properties of materials, select the Show details check box.

  4. Select a material from the list.
  5. Click OK to close the Select Material dialog box.
  6. Click Modify in the property pane.
Tip:

Alternatively, if you know the name of the material, you can enter it directly in the Material box in the property pane or in the contextual toolbar.
