To Turn on Materials for a Slab/Roof Slab Style

Use this procedure to turn on material assignments for individual display representations in a slab or roof slab style.

  1. Open a tool palette that has a slab or roof slab tool, right-click the tool, and click Slab Styles or Roof Slab Styles.
    Note: Alternatively, you can select a slab or roof slab in the drawing, and click Slab Styles or Roof Slab Styles from the Edit Style drop-down on the General panel of ribbon’s contextual menu.
  2. Select the style you want to edit.
  3. Click the Display Properties tab.
  4. Select the display representation in which to display the changes, and select Style Override.
  5. If necessary, click .
  6. Click the Layer/Color/Linetype tab.
  7. Select By Material for each component to be controlled by the material. The By Material check box is unavailable for components that cannot be assigned a material.

    When you select By Material for a display component, all other settings in the dialog box are unavailable. Since the display properties are now taken from the material definition, you can no longer set them directly in the display properties of the slab or roof slab style.

  8. Click OK.
