This flyout has three or four buttons:
-
Sphere (the default) Displays the material on a sphere.

Cylinder Displays the material on a cylinder.
-
Cube Displays the material on a cube.

This button appears only if you have used the Material Editor Options dialog to specify a custom object for sample slots.
