Using Materials

Enrich and enhance designs using Materials to add detail.

The Material Editor is located in the right-side palette. In the Editor, you can create new materials and add them to your Material Library. To add color to a material, you can use the color picker to accurately set the tint for the material or select a predefined color swatch.

• Materials allow you to add detail to your sketch. You can apply materials to faces or entire objects using the Material Editor found in the right-side palette.

  

The widgets provided by the Materials Editor allow you to:

• Activate the paintbrush tool

• Edit the color or the bitmap image of a material

• Copy or delete a material

When applied to the sketch, materials will be added to a list of already used materials for easy access. A material can have a texture (bitmap) and/or color. When a material has both texture and color, the two are multiplied together.

• Use the Material Editor to modify or create materials.
