Material Guide (Panel 4) - Materials to Add or Delete

Select materials to add and to remove from selected families. The list of materials is based on materials available in the Style Library.

Access:

Click Manage tab Content Center panel Editor to open the Content Center Editor dialog box. Then locate the category, family, or families to add materials and do one of the following:
  • Select a category, right-click, and click Material Guide.
  • Select families (or one family), right-click, and click Material Guide.
  • Select a family, right-click, and select Family Table. In the Family Table dialog box, select family members (rows) to add material to, right-click, and click Material Guide.

Select material

Lists materials from the active Material Library. Select a material and click the arrow to move it to the Materials to Add or Materials to Delete list.

Materials to add

Lists materials to add. If an added material exists in a selected family, it is skipped for the family.

Materials to delete

Lists materials to delete. If a deleted material does not exist in a selected family, it is skipped for the family. The option is available only if you create new family members for new materials.

Note: Only duplicate family members with the selected material are deleted. If a family member to remove is unique in the family (no other family member has the same geometric parameters), Material Guide does not remove it.
