Materials Repository
As you are well aware, the primary use of the materials in the BIM model is needed for the creation of a system family. Because of this, the Material sub-menu has an important place within the Product Portfolio section, allowing you to store a variety of materials.
The list view will be the first screen you encounter when you go to the material section. You may copy, remove, search for, or order materials in the list view. On top of the list view is a search bar with category, type and status filters. You may utilize the sorting feature by using the two arrows next to each column. At the end of each material row, a single remove, copy and history functionality is enabled. There is also a bulk apply capability for copying and deleting materials at the bottom menu.
The Add new button at the bottom may be used to add a new material. A pop-up window with the name, description, and a drop-down menu with options to select whether your item is generic or specific will show when you click it.
The definition for specific is when you input a materials to our cockpit that are produced by actual manufacturers. Everything else that is not being created by a real manufacturer is considered of as generic material.
