Re: Materials confusion

Hi Roger,

If you want to keep editing a material to see the changes, the best thing to do is to drag and drop a material onto an object. This copies the swatch and applies it onto the object as Matt described. Then, go into the Materials Dock panel and double click the Material shown in the Dock. This will load the Material in the Material Dock into the Material Editor. Then, as you make changes in the Material Editor, you will see the object update with each update.

Hope this helps with what you're doing.

Best,
Edward
