 Changethematerialsassignedtothenewobjectbeforeinsertingit,
sothereisnoconflictwiththesettingsontheTraySettingsribbon.
To change the materials assigned to an object before inserting it:
1. OpenanotherObjetStudiowindow,byrunningtheapplicationfrom
theWindowsStartmenu.
2. Insertthenewobject(objdffile)intotheemptybuildtray.
3. ChangethematerialselectionsettingsontheTraySettingsribbonto
thoseusedontheotherbuildtray.
4. Assignmaterialstotheobject(see“AssigningaModel
Materialto
Objects”onpage 23).
5. Selecttheobjectandcopyit.
6. DisplaytheotherObjetStudiowindow,andpastetheobjectontothe

Note: You can save the object with the new materials either as a new objdf
file, or by saving the original file with the changes.
Changing the
Model Material
WhenyoudesignabuildtrayinObjetStudio,youcanusemodelmaterials
thatmightnotbecurrentlyinstalledintheprinter.Becausetheinstalled
materialsaredisplayedbydefault,changethematerialselectionsettingson
theTraySettingsribbon,ifnecessary.
