Summary

•	The materials are arranged in the Materials Flyout . The materials from the database can be found in the lower part, and the materials present in the document in the upper part of the Flyout.

•	You can assign materials with either the Drag&Drop function or with the Assign Properties tool .

•	With the Assign Properties tool , the selected material from the upper materials list is assigned to the construction. Independently from the active tool, you can assign a material from either the materials database or from the list of materials present in the document with the Drag&Drop function.

•	In the material database you can also search for materials (see Materials Flyout toolbar ). You can choose to either have the database filtered or not filtered (see Materials Flyout toolbar ).

•	New materials can either be added to the upper materials list or to the materials database (see Materials Flyout toolbar ).
