Materials

The Materials tab lists every material on the loaded model (or the materials created in a materials-only session). Expand a material card to edit PBR properties and maps.

• Click a material name to expand or collapse its settings.

• New material creates an empty material you can fill and assign to an object.

• For SketchUp (.skp) inputs, Overwrite SketchUp Materials controls whether Transmutr replaces existing SketchUp materials on export.
