Creating a Material Library

You can create a library to contain a set of materials for easy access, such as a set that you use most often, or a set that you use with a particular project type, such as Commercial or Residential. You can also create categories within a library to organize the materials.

To create a material library

1. Open the Material Browser: click Manage tabSettings panel Materials.
2. On the Material Browser toolbar, in the lower left corner of the browser, click the menu Create New Library.
   

   Material Browser Toolbar Menu

   A window opens, prompting you to specify the file name and location.

3. In the window, navigate to a location where you want to store the library, enter the library name, and click Save.
4. In the Material Browser, add materials to the new library by clicking and dragging them from other libraries or from the project materials list.
   Tip: You can create categories within a library from the Material Browser toolbar menu.
