Fig. 15.9 Third example - assigning a Wood material

Modifying an applied material

If the result of applying a material direct to a model from the selected
materials palette is not satisfactory, modifi cations to the applied material
can be made. In the case of the third example, double-click on the chosen
material icon in the Materials Browser palette and the Materials Editor
palette appears showing the materials in the drawing (Fig. 15.10). Features
such as colour of the applied material choosing different texture maps of
the material (or materials) applied to a model can be amended as wished
from this palette. In this example:

1. Click the arrow to the right of the Image area of the palette and a popup
menu appears. Select Wood from this menu and the Texture Editor
palette appears showing the material in its Wood appearance. In this
palette a number of material changes can be made.
