To Assign Materials to a Window Style

Use this procedure to assign materials to the individual components of a window style. When you assign materials to window components, the components use the display properties of the material.

You can specify the materials used to display the following components of a window style:

• Frame
• Sash
• Glass
• Muntin

Note: If a material assignment does not determine the display properties of a window component, you can change the display properties of the window style as described in About Specifying the Display Properties of a Window Style.

1. Click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager.
2. Expand Architectural Objects, and expand Window Styles.
3. Select the style you want to edit.
4. Click the Display Properties tab.
5. Select the display representation in which you want changes to appear, and select Style Override.
6. If necessary, click .
7. Click the Layer/Color/Linetype tab.
8. Select By Material for any component to which you want to assign a material, and click OK.

   If the setting for By Material is not available, the display of this component cannot be determined by a material.

9. Click the Materials tab.
10. Click the component you want to change, and select a different material definition.

    You can select any material definition in the current drawing, or click to create a new material definition and assign it to a component.

    Danger: Although you can edit a material definition from this dialog box, any changes you make to the material definition apply to all objects that are assigned the material.
