2. On the Model Objects tab or the Import Objects tab, click in the Material column of the category or subcategory.
3. Click in the Material column.
4. In the Material Browser, select a material, and click Apply.
5. To exit the Object Styles dialog, click OK.

In project views, all elements of the selected category or subcategory display the applied material.
