Assigning Materials to a Railing Style
Use this procedure to assign materials to the individual components of a railing
style. The component uses the display properties of the material instead of
the style display properties.
You can assign a material to any physical component of the railing. Custom
components and components that are only symbolic graphics do not use
materials for their display properties.
NOTE If a material assignment does not determine the display properties of a
railing component, you can change the display properties of the railing style as
described in Specifying the Display Components of a Railing Style on page 2342.
1 Select a railing.
2 Click Railing tab ➤ General panel ➤ Edit Style
drop-down ➤ Railing Styles .
3 Select the style you want to edit.
4 Click the Display Properties tab.
5 Select the display representation where you want the changes to
appear, and select Style Override.
6 If necessary, click .
7 Click the Layer/Color/Linetype tab.
8 Select By Material for any component to which you want to assign
a material, and click OK.
If the setting for By Material is not available, the display of this
component cannot be determined by a material.
9 Click the Materials tab.
10 Select the component you want to change, and select a different
material definition.
You can select any material definition in the current drawing, or
click to create a new material definition and assign it to a
component.
WARNING Although you can also edit a material definition from this
dialog box, any changes you make to the material definition apply
to all objects that are assigned the material.
11 Click OK.
