Material Tool
You create a material tool from a material definition. You can then use this
tool in the same way that you would use any other tool in your project. For
more information about working with tools, see Tools on page 93. This is the
most efficient method of applying a material definition to an object or the
component of an object. For more information, see Creating a Material Tool
from a Material Definition in Style Manager on page 879.
Objects That Support Materials
Objects to which you assign materials are typically three-dimensional (3D)
objects. Two-dimensional (2D) objects, such as areas, grids, or AEC polygons,
are more like symbolic representations and drawing aids than actual building
objects.
Not all components of an object can take on a material definition. For example,
a door swing is a symbolic graphic, therefore, it does not support a material
assignment. The appearance of a door swing is specified in the display
properties of a door style. The door frame, however, is a physical part of the
door, and a material definition can be assigned to it.
