Edit

The function is available, if the part/face has a material. The editable properties depend on the material and the additional features of the software.

• If you are using the Rendering additional feature, you can edit the parameters of parametric rendering materials and the shading properties of non-parametric materials.
• Without the additional feature, you can edit the parameters of the parametric rendering material. If the part/face has a material, and the button is not displayed, the material is not parametric.
