solidThinking allows you to save any material you create and store it in the extensible Materials library so that it can be quickly retrieved for any successive use.
To save any new material, press the Save button on the bottom right of the Shading panel.
A small Save as panel is displayed. Choose the Group where you want to store the new material by scrolling the pop-up list. If you want to create a new group, simply type a different name not included in the pop-up list. Then, type the Material name and click OK to confirm.
You will find the new material in the Materials library under the group you chose.
Note: when naming groups and materials, follow some rules to ease retrieving operations and to avoid chaos in the Materials library.
If you quickly right click a library material icon, the program displays a pop-up menu that shows you two options: Delete and Properties.
Choose Delete if you want to remove a material from the library, Properties if you want to rename it or move it to a different group.
