Associate/Disassociate

The Mat_Oper->Associate/Disassociate commands in the Matter module allow you to either associate or disassociate a material from the selected object in the Schematic window. You can associate a material to, or share a material with, more than one object. Sharing materials is especially useful because it allows you to quickly and easily edit a material used throughout your scene.

For more information about working in the Schematic window, see the Schematic Window section.

Procedure

1. Open a Schematic window and select the Matter mode.
2. Select an object, or if a local material, select one or more polygons.
3. Choose the Mat_Oper->Associate/Disassociate command.
4. Pick the material you want to associate or disassociate with that object or polygon.

The material is linked to or unlinked from the selected object or polygon.
