Material Picker

The Material Picker tool is used to copy a material from one object to another instead of searching for this material in the library. If two objects allow you to apply the Texture Transform tool, the Material Picker copies the transformation settings too.

Using the Material Picker is convenient when you need to match materials for several furniture objects.

To copy a material:

  1. Open the Materials tab of the Inspector window. Open the 3D view.

  2. Select the destination object for which you want to change a material.
    Its material(s) will be shown in the Object’s Materials box.

  3. Select the material(s) you want to change.

  4. Click the Material Picker button to activate the tool.

  5. With the Material Picker tool, click the source object to pick one of its materials, and repeat the clicks if necessary to go through its other materials, one at a time. Each time, the material picked will replace the selected material of the armchair.

  6. Click the Material Picker button again to deactivate the tool.

 

When you point with the tool to an object, its material is displayed in the Inspector to the right from the Material Picker button.
