The Material Editor allows you to edit and save the information contained in a FreeCAD material. Currently such materials are used by the FEM and Arch workbenches.
The material editor can currently be accessed by:
- The Edit material button of the new material creation panel of the Arch Workbench
- Via python:
import MaterialEditor
MaterialEditor.openEditor()Options
- Browser button: Opens the contents of the URL property in a browser
- Material card: Allows to choose a preset to fill in the fields
- Open: Opens a .FCMat file
- Save as: Saves the contents of the editor as a new .FCMat file
- Preview: Not implemented yet
- Properties editor: Allows to edit the contents of the material properties
- Add property: Allows to add a new custom property
- Delete property: Deletes a selected property. Only custom properties can be deleted
Note:
- The OK and Cancel buttons have the same effect when the Material editor is not used to edit directly the material property of an existing object.
