To Assign Materials to a Space Style

Use this procedure to assign materials to individual components of a space style. The component may use the display properties of the material instead of the style display properties.

You can assign a material to any physical component of the space. Custom components and components that are only symbolic graphics do not use materials for their display properties. For example, the floor and ceiling are physical components. The gross boundary is a symbolic component.

Note: If a material assignment does not determine the display properties of a space component, change the display properties of the space style.
