Material library

Select the object or face you want to change and open its material picker. A wizard or Inspector field can open the browser specifically for that field. Check this context before applying: a field-bound picker and the standalone selection browser have different selection behavior.

Use Search and the available category filters. The browser also supports a surface-class filter where offered. Search and filters combine, so clear a filter if an expected material is not visible. Hidden internal materials are not part of the user catalog.

Open a swatch’s preview from its preview action or context menu. Inspect the larger material view and use its apply action when appropriate. Closing the preview without applying leaves the target unchanged.

In a field-bound picker, a single swatch selection applies that material to the field and closes the browser. In the standalone browser, a single click highlights; double-click or the preview apply action commits to the selected objects. With no selection, the standalone browser cannot apply an object material.

The browser displays loading, failure or no-results states when needed. Reopen or retry after resolving an unavailable catalog or network connection. Previously cached assets can reduce loading, but cached thumbnails do not establish complete offline editing or availability of every material.
