Default Rendering Materials

Use a system management function to change the default materials set for the material categories of building component surfaces.

1. Select System Settings > General System Setup > Default Rendering Materials.
2. Select either of the following:
   • All, Custom Changes Included - This function opens the connected system (system/dbases/d_LWMAP) and customer-specific linking database for editing (custom/dbases/d_LWMAP). The customer-specific changes are presented in the same view with the system information. The changes will only be saved in the customer-specific database.
   • Custom Changes Only - This function opens the customer-specific linking database for editing (custom/dbases/d_LWMAP) for editing. Only customer-specific changes are presented in the database view.
3. Move to the desired material category row.
4. Click the Browser button. The browser is opened. The browser displays the shared folder (your own materials) and the system folder (software supplier's materials).
5. Double-click the thumbnail of the desired material.
6. Confirm by clicking OK.

Note

• If you select the function All, Custom Changes Included, the rows that correspond with the system database will be removed from the customer-specific database. After this, the customer-specific database will only include the customer-specific changes with regard to the system.
• You can update the changes to the model by selecting Rendering > Restore Default Materials.
• System Settings is only available on the toolbar if you are a system administrator.
