    About Editing a Material Boundary

    You can edit existing material boundaries in two ways:

    • Change the content within the material boundary. For example, you can determine of you want to see only brick hatching, or both brick and glass hatching.
    • Change the shape of the material boundary. For example, you can make the boundary bigger or smaller, or add additional rings and vertex points to it.
