- Right click “Materials <not specified>” in the feature tree and click “Edit Material”
- In the search bar, look for the material you’d like to be easily accessible and select it
- Go to the Favorites tab and click “Add”
- Select the material in the list and click “Up” or “Down” to move it within the list
- Close the pop-up window
There are some materials you’ll use quite often in FRC, so it’s recommended that you repeat the above steps for these materials (and remove the rest):
- 5052-H32 (Some sheet metal parts)
- 6061-T6 (SS) (Most sheet metal parts + extrusion + some shafts)
- 7075-T6 (SS) (Some shafts)
- PC High Viscosity (Lexan)
- Printed PLA (3D printed PLA parts, requires you to Add File Locations)
- Printed PA6-CF (3D printed carbon-infused nylon, requires you to Add File Locations)
Now, when you’re assigning a material to a part, you no longer have to search through the pop-up window for your material - just right click material and click on the material of your part.
