Set a Material on a Surface

You can use this function to add a material on one or more surfaces.

Surface-specific functions should be used only on a few surfaces in the model. Using them on a large mass can slow down managing the model and corrupt the materials. It is recommended to use the Edit a Material by Volume or Edit a Material in the Entire Model functions instead.

Select Rendering | Surface Texture | Edit by Surface > Set.
Select the surface/surfaces.
Select Confirm.
Select the material in a dialog box.
Rendering Material Dialog Box
Confirm by clicking OK.
Quit by pressing the Esc key.

If you have added a material to a surface earlier, a new selection will replace the old material.

Note:

You can restore the default rendering material connected to the category of the surface with the function Restore the Default Material For a Selected Surface or Restore All Default Materials.
